Abstract
The issue regarding the negative impact on the human health and environment, as a result of waste storage by using improper methods remains of great actuality, especially with the increasing trend of the generated wastes quantity. The present paper aims to present the most efficient methods that can be used to reduce and prevent environmental risks caused by uncontrolled storage of agricultural waste. Will be treated theoretical aspects related to the actual state of waste management in the E.U. but also in Romania, methods of treating organic waste, as well as prevention measures of environmental risks.

The concern for environmental risks reduction, sustainable development and use of renewable energy sources, have gained important valences in recent years, fact that led to adopt significant measures in the country, among which are found the process of anaerobic digestion and the composting process
Summary
The issue regarding the negative impact on the health of human and on the environment, as a result of waste storage by using improper methods remains of great actuality, especially with the increasing of the generated wastes quantity. Mechanical–biological treatment of the organic solid waste is the main strategy to reduce biodegradable municipal solid waste in Europe [4] It consists of mechanical pre-treatment followed by an anaerobic or aerobic process, so that waste impacts are reduced. These processes have attracted attention because they produce stabilized waste that can be sold as fertilizer or disposed off in landfill, in which case it will have a minimum impact on the environment [5]. The composting process produces a harmless product that can be used as organic fertilizer, while the anaerobic decomposition (fermentation) produces biogas (renewable energy) and digestate (which, enriched with compost, results in a high quality fertilizer)
