Permanent settlements begin to create a disposal issue for garbage.

Athens, Greece creates the first waste dump in the Western World.

Rome creates a sanitation force. Two-man teams walk through the streets picking up trash and putting it into wagons.

The Plague, or Black Death, hits the city of Florence, forcing it to draw up laws for inspections and cleaning of the streets to remove filth and garbage.

London authorities forbid the disposal of rubbish, dung, gravel or earth into the Thames and other city waterways.

Fines are levied against those citizens caught throwing slops, the contents of chamber pots and other "water" from their windows into the streets.

Butchering wastes could be cut up on a certain pier of the Thames and dumped in the center of the river at ebb tide so it would be carried away. Cleaning of the city of London was assigned to a serjeant of the channels, scavengers, constables, beadles, rakers and surveyors of the pavements.

London authorities declare that tumbrils (carts) must be used to haul garbage from the city.

Henry II of France suggests that some of Paris' sewers be turned into the Seine. This suggestion is vetoed by the municipal authorities as a danger to public health.

800 garbage carts are used to remove garbage from Paris twice a day.
