Any material that is discarded ,useless or

unwanted is considered as a waste.

What is Waste Management?

Waste management is the collection, processing,

recycling or disposal and monitoring of waste materials.

 Solid waste refers to non-soluble material such as

agricultural refuse, industrial waste, mining residues, demolition waste, municipal garbage or even sewage sludge. Most of these kind of wastes cannot be recycled or rehabilitated for further use.

 Organic waste: kitchen waste, vegetables,

flowers, leaves, fruits. Toxic waste: Old medicines, paints, chemicals, bulbs, spray cans, fertilizer and pesticide containers, batteries, shoe polish. Recyclable: paper, glass, metals, plastics. Soiled: hospital waste such as cloth soiled with blood and other body fluids

 Reuse

Composting
Land filling Incineration

Recycle

 Reuse is using an item more than once. This

includes conventional reuse where the item is used again for the same function.

 Composting is the decomposition of

biodegradable organic matter, producing compost.

Or in a simpler form: Composting is the decaying

of food, mostly vegetables or manure.

 Landfill is the disposal of waste into or onto land.

Today, landfill sites are constructed and operated to strict technical standards in order to reduce environmental effects.
A landfill is a carefully engineered and managed

structure which acts as a final disposal option for waste.

 Incineration is a disposal method that involves combustion

of waste material. Incineration and other high temperature waste treatment systems are sometimes described as thermal treatment. Incinerators convert waste materials into heat, gas, steam, and ash.
It is recognized as a practical method of disposing of

certain hazardous waste materials (such as biological medical waste). Incineration is a controversial method of waste disposal, due to issues such as emission of gaseous pollutants.

 Recycling is the process of making or

manufacturing new products from a product that has originally served its purpose. If these used products are disposed of in an appropriate, environmentally friendly way, the process of recycling has been set in motion. Items that are made from materials such as aluminum, plastic water bottles.

 Say no to all plastic bags as far as possible. Reuse the soft drinks polybottles for storing water. You can dig a compost pit in your garden and put all the

biodegradables into it. See to it that all garbage is thrown into the municipal bin as the collection is generally done from there. Carry your own cloth or jute bag when you go shopping. When you go out do not throw paper and other wrappings or even leftover food here and there, make sure that it is put in the correct place, that is into a dustbin. As far as possible try to sell all the recyclable items that are not required by you.
