Production is the function of the amount and nature of agricultural waste generated by an agricultural enterprise. Collection refers to the initial capture and gathering of waste from the point of origin or deposition to a collection point. Storage is the temporary containment of the waste. Treatment is any function designed to reduce the pollution potential of waste including physical biological and chemical treatment. It includes activities that are sometimes considered pretreatment such as the separation of solids. Transfer refers to the movement and transportation of waste throughout the system and includes the transfer of waste from the collection point to the storage facility to the treatment facility and to the utilization site. Utilization includes recycling reusable waste products and reintroducing nonreusable waste products into the environment. These functions are carried out by planning applying and operating individual components. A component can be a piece of equipment such as a pump a structure such as a waste storage tank or an operation such as composting. The combination of the components should allow the flexibility needed to efficiently handle all forms of waste generated for a given enterprise. In addition the components must be compatible and integrated with each other. All components should be designed to be simple manageable and durable and they should require low maintenance. In this .
