How Does Garbage Affect the Environment? Garbage causes damage to local ecosystems, and it is a threat to plant and animal life. Garbage is also a source of food for many animals. A significant amount of garbage is dumped into the oceans. Most garbage ends up in landfills. These landfills are designed to stop the leaking of material into the rest of the environment to avoid contaminating water supplies. While they are being filled, landfills serve as a popular dining location for birds and other animals, but some of what they eat can cause diseases.
