Except human, every living organisim on earth are re-cycling its waste. As humans we dump our waste or garbage never re-cycle it. Over a period of time we spoil our Natural Resources and creat a gravy yard.
You can see... No life cherish near dump yard. We spread disease and creat new disease.
How we are going to prevent it?

You are wrong on so many levels. Do you know that people who don't think have been saying we were going to run out of room for our garbage since 1960? It is true, to bad they don't understand either. We do recycle! How many people that you know live in new houses versus used houses? Or drive used cars?
It is also not clear that what goes into a dump will never be retrieved. If we run out of metals, we could turn our old dump yard into mines. If something has value, it will naturally find it's best use.

Humans waste is recycled, the problem is that its been concentrated to such an extent that the earth CANNOT handle it.
If the current human population was lower and we did not live in cities the waste would be spread out over a larger area and the earth would be able to handle the waste quanities as well. By saying that other living organisms waste and not humans is recycled is wrong and bias.
Take a fish tank as an example, if you have too many fish in that tank algae builds up, fecal matter builds up and the system fails. Granted its an artificial system but a system none the less. Now if you have just a few fish in the tank the system is able to recycle the waste much better.
All living creatures dump waste and by singling out humans your being bias. Now the reason human waste is a problem ( I agree with you that it is the human waste that is the issue) is that there is too many humans, too concentrated(cities) and the waste is not being dispersed widely enough to allow the earth to recycle it. By changing these points it should reduce the waste issue.
Diseases and new ones are spread by concentrated populations (cities) and in dirty areas.
I hope that helps

Odds are we aren't. Hauling trash is a much more profitable business than recycling so there is no economic incentive for people to start recycling companies. It will take government intervention in the form of subsidies to get the industry going and right now our government is more concerned with spending money on war than on the environment.

The earth's waters and air is cleaner than it was in the 50's. We create superbugs because of over prescribed antibiotics. there's your disease.
