    What is Waste Management


    Waste management is the process of disposing, processing, recycling and refining waste
    materials. 

    What are the types of Wastes?


    Types of Solid Wastes
    1. Residual waste is non-hazardous industrial waste. It includes waste material (solid, liquid
    or gas) produced by industrial, mining and agricultural operations. It excludes certain coal
    mining wastes and wastes from normal farming activities.
    2. Special Wastes or infectious Wastes are the most dangerous wastes. They include
    hazardous or toxic wastes.
    3. Biodegradable materials are non- hazardous waste that can be decomposed or be degraded
    by living organisms, with the proper treatment it can be used for composting, animal feed, or  
    converted into energy includes organic waste, e.g., kitchen waste, vegetables, fruits, flowers,  
    leaves from the garden, and paper.  Ways of proper ways disposal
    4. Non-biodegradable materials any discarded item that cannot be broken down by living 1. Composting
    organisms, accumulates in the environment because it cannot return to its origins. It is a natural process in which plant and other organic wastes are broken down biologically to

    Residential, industrial, commercial, institutional, construction and demolition, municipal This is the process of dividing garbage and waste products in an effort to reduce, reuse and
    services, agriculture, process (manufacturing etc.) recycle materials.
    3. Recycling
    Method to eliminate waste Recycling is processing used materials (waste) into new products to prevent waste of

    Proper means of waste disposal is crucial to public health and the environment. This helps
    maintain a cleaner environment and reduces the chances of spreading diseases. Proper waste Follow the three R’s
    disposal also reduces the probability of contamination of the soil and groundwater. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle – all help to cut down on the amount of waste we throw
    away. They conserve natural resources, landfill space and energy.
