Types of Waste:
There are three main types of waste: biodegradable, recyclable, and hazardous.
Biodegradable Waste
Biodegradable waste is organic matter that bacteria or other living organisms can break down. This waste includes food scraps, paper products, and yard waste. Biodegradable waste can be composted at home or collected and sent to a traditional waste site.
Recyclable Waste
Recyclable waste is material that can be reused and recycled. This type of waste includes glass, plastic, metal, and paper. Recycling helps to reduce pollution and conserve resources. Many waste collectors also collect recycling during their regular waste collection visits.
Hazardous Waste
Hazardous waste is any type of waste harmful to humans or the environment. This type of waste includes chemicals, oil, batteries, and paint. Hazardous waste must be disposed of properly to avoid harming people or polluting the earth.
How to Dispose of Waste Properly:
Now that we know the different types of waste let’s discuss how to dispose of them properly.
Compost or Collection
The best way to dispose of biodegradable waste is to compost it. You can do this at home by setting up a compost bin or pile in your backyard. Be sure to include a mix of green and brown materials, such as leaves, grass clippings, and food scraps. Aerate your compost regularly and water it as needed. If you are not looking to start your compost bin, there should be a local waste collection service that will dispose of the biodegradable waste properly.
Recycle
The best way to dispose of recyclable waste is to recycle it. You can do this by taking your recyclables to a local recycling center. You can also check with your city or town to see if they offer curbside pickup. If not, you can still recycle your waste by donating it to a local thrift store.
Hazard Disposal
The best way to dispose of hazardous waste is to take it to a unique collection site. These sites are designed to dispose of dangerous materials safely.
