There is potential contamination of water, animals and plant life with waste. Toxic waste is generally associated with carcinogens and mutating genes that cause cause birth defects. Humans and animals can consume contaminated things and develop help problems (e.g. cancer). Human waste can cause serious dieases, which is one reason clean water is a concern in a lot of places. The waste also can also make real estate unattractive and probably lower property values. Waste disposal is a big thing too because of the waste of natural resources used to create the same things over and over. Recycling is for protecting the environment and conserving resources.

I don't understand what you mean by a "negative thing". Society has decided that such wastes need to be disposed of rather than allowed to be dumped into streams or the air or in the ground.
