1. Waste Management: Basic Idea
- Waste management includes collection, segregation, composting and disposal.
- Waste should be handled in a planned way to reduce pollution and disease.
- Waste from homes, hotels, restaurants, offices and commercial areas must be separated at the source.
2. Collection, Storage and Transportation of Waste
- Proper collection of waste is an important responsibility of the municipality.
- Collection must be organised area-wise by covered trucks, vans or rickshaws.
- Day-to-day collection helps prevent the spread of diseases and environmental pollution.
3. Segregation of Waste
- Waste from residential areas, hotels, offices and commercial areas must be segregated at source into biodegradable and non-degradable waste.
- Biomedical waste and industrial waste must not be mixed with municipal solid waste consisting of biodegradable garbage.
- Waste should be separated into vegetable and fruit waste, leaves and garden waste, glass and paper waste, and toxic or non-biodegradable waste.
4. Composting and Vermicomposting
- Composting is a method of converting biodegradable organic waste into useful manure.
- Garden waste like leaves, twigs, grass clippings, fruit peels and vegetable peels is dumped in a pit and covered with soil.
- Composting decomposes organic waste into humus, which is a good fertiliser for plants.
