It can no longer return itself to the previous orderly motions before the molecules began to collide with each other and it is the work done by the force of gravity as it collects up the molecules that is getting «wasted» in the form of heat, and can only partially be converted back to work, and is why the Temperature is increasing.
The waste products of the world might come from consumption, heating, agriculture, mining, manufacturing, fossil fuel extraction, transportation, or some other human activity and without some form of control, they will degrade the environment as they accumulate or disperse.
