landfills.

• Segregation protects health.

• When the waste is not separated properly it leads to less recycling because it is not easy to
remove materials for recycling. This means many resources are wasted.

• Segregation of waste is important for properly disposing of the vast amount of garbage our
society produces in an environmentally conscious manner. Different components of waste have
very different properties, and grouping them by type allows for proper processing or storage.
