Put Waste In The Right Place

 

What is waste management?....... In simplest terms, waste management is the collection, transportation, and disposal of garbage and other waste products. The most significant type of waste that ends up in landfills is food. Aside from economic losses, food waste is also a producer of greenhouse gases.

Plastic is the second most common sort of garbage discovered in landfills. Plastic trash is a major contributor to climate change and a serious threat to pollution, biodiversity, and human health. While some types of plastic waste, such as single-use plastic bags and straws, cannot be recycled, the majority of what we throw away may be recycled or reused.

 

As sensible dwellers of the Earth, we are responsible for managing our waste sustainably and protecting the environment. We can do this by following the 3 Rs of waste management.

REDUCE = Reducing your waste means that there would be less waste to manage. However, reducing waste is easier said than done. Most businesses have unavoidable waste produce – and that’s fine. I’m sure business owners are trying to limit their waste expense, anyway.

Still, how can we reduce waste? 

The easiest thing to do to reduce waste is to stop the use of single-use plastics. If you’re going shopping, take a reusable shopping bag with you. You can also buy in bulk to reduce plastic packaging.

REUSE = A good percentage of the waste that ends up in landfills can be reused—waste such as unwanted clothes, toys, old jars, or old magazines.

If you don’t want to keep some of your old stuff, why not donate them instead? You can give unwanted toys and books to schools. You can donate your unwanted clothes to goodwill. You can take your old magazines to your local dentist’s clinic. 

RECYCLE = We have been taught how to recycle ever since we were in grade school. Yet, most of us have forgotten how to do it due to a loss of creativity as we age. Paper, cardboard, glass, tin, aluminum, and plastic containers can be recycled to produce another product. At the same time, organic waste can be recycled to make worm farms and compost.

Most local districts have recycling depositories. Contact your local city or district council to find out what your local recycling park collects so you can put them aside when the garbage collector comes to collect your trash.
