Waste Management & Segregation

Why should we segregate waste, there is reduction of waste that gets landfill and occupies space, air and water pollution rates are considerably lowered. Segregating waste also makes it easier to apply different processes-composting, recycling and incineration can be applied to different kinds of waste.

Here are some steps to manage and segreate waste:

---

  Keep separate containers for dryand wet waste in the kitchen.
  Keep two bags for dry waste collections- paper and plastic, for the rest of the household waste.
  Keep plastic from the kitchen clean and dry and drop into the dry waste bin. Keep glass/plastic containers rinsed of food matter.
  Send wet waste out of your home daily. Store and send dry waste out of the home, once a week.
  Keep a paper bag for throwing the sanitary waste.
