1. IS GETTING RID OF GARBAGE BY THROWING IT AWAY SEEMS LIKE THE EASIEST THING TO
DO.

2. 3 R’SRECYCLING GARBAGE
•ALTERNATIVE FORM OF GETTING RID OF USED MATERIALS.
•INSTEAD OF PUTTING USED MATERIALS IN A LANDFILL, IT
IS PROCESSED AND MADE INTO NEW ITEMS.
•EVERYTHING FROM PAPER TO PLASTIC TO BATTERIES TO
BE RECYCLED AND MADE INTO SOMETHING USEFUL AGAIN.
REUSE
•INSTEAD OF CAREFULLY DISCARDING ITEMS THAT CAN BE
RECYCLED TO MAKE NEW PRODUCTS, REUSE INVOLVES
USING THE ITEMS IN ANOTHER WAY, WHEN THEIR PRIMARY
USE IS FINISHED.
•THIS REUSE EXTENDS THE LIFE CYCLE OF AN ITEM, WHICH
MAY EVENTUALLY BE DISCARDED, BUT IN THE MEANTIME,
IS USEFUL AND REMAINS IN CIRCULATION INSTEAD OF
GRACING THE TOP OF A GARBAGE PILE IN A LANDFILL.
• IT IS PREFERABLE THAT A PRODUCT BE RE-USED IN THE
SAME STATE E.G., RETURNABLE PLASTIC PAL LETS, USING AN
EMPTY GLASS JAR FOR STORING ITEMS AND USING SECOND
HAND CLOTHES.
• REUSE IS NORMALLY PREFERABLE TO RECYCLING AS THERE
ISN'T THE SAME REQUIREMENT FOR THE MATERIAL TO HAVE
GONE THROUGH A DETAILED TREATMENT PROCESS THUS
HELPING TO SAVE ON ENERGY AND MATERIAL USAGE.

ADVANTAGES OF RE-USE
• REQUIRES CLEANING AND TRANSPORT, ADDING TO ENVIRONMENTAL
COST
• SOME ITEMS LIKE FREON APPLIANCES CAN BE HAZARDOUS AND LESS
ENERGY EFFICIENT AS THEY CONTINUE TO BE USED.
• SORTING AND PREPARING ITEMS FOR RE USE IS TIME CONSUMING

5. DIFFERENT METHODS OF RECYCLING &
DISPOSAL
• HOUSEHOLD WASTE NEEDS TO BE TUNED WHEN CONTAINERS ARE WITHIN
75% TO 100% FULL BUT NOT OVERFLOWING.
• RECYCLABLES NEEDS TO BE SEPARATED. CHANGES IN THE FREQUENCY OF
COLLECTION ARE MADE AS NEEDED DEPENDING ON CHANGES IN BUILDING
OCCUPANCY OR USE AND TYPES AND VOLUME OF RECYCLABLES
RECOVERED.
• COMPOSTING( MANURE PIT)
• VERMICOMPOSTING
• BIOGAS TECHNOLOGY
• INCINERATION
• BAILING
• LANDFILLING

6. SEGREGATION OF WASTE (AT SOURCE)

7. SEGREGATION OF WASTE

8. SEGREGATION OF WASTE
SEPERATION OF REFUSE-
DEPENDS UPON THE METHOD OF DISPOSAL SYSTEMS-
•SINGLE BIN SYSTEM-
DRY AND WET IS GATHERED IN ONE BIN.
•DOUBLE BIN SYSTEM-
DRY AND WET SOLID WASTE ARE COLLECTED INTO SEPARATE
BINS.
• TRIPLE BIN SYSTEM-
IN TRIPLE BIN SYSTEM DRY SOLID WASTE IS AGAIN SEPARATED
INTO TWO BINS ON THEIR REUSABLE PROPERTIES AND WET SOLID
WASTE IS THIRD ONE.

10. SEGREGATION OF WASTE
•THE MAJORITY OF BANGALOREANS PREFER
TO GIVE AWAY THEIR WASTE TO THE BBMP OR
THROW IT IN AN EMPTY PLOT. BUT, NOT
GEETANJALI SRIDHARAN.
•COMPOSTING……
•NON-RECYCLABLE TO BBMP..

13. RECYCLING AND REUSE
IF AN OLD AUTOMOBILE TYRE IS RECYCLED, IT MIGHT BECOME RAW MATERIAL FOR
ROAD SURFACING OR…………

14. RECYCLING AND REUSE
A GLASS CANNING JAR MIGHT BECOME RAW MATERIAL FOR 'GLASSPHALT' OR……..

15. • PLASTIC TUBS AND LIDS ARE MADE INTO FLOWERPOTS, PLASTIC
LUMBER, ROPES , MATS, PILLOWS,BAGS, SHOWPIECES ETC..
• PLASTIC BOTTLES ARE RECYCLED INTO POLYESTER YARN FOR CARPET,
CLOTHING OR PACKAGING
• OLD NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES ARE RECYCLED INTO NEW
ONES…. BY PAPER PULP PROCESS
• HARDBOARD ARE USED FOR PRODUCTS LIKE EGG CARTONS
• ALUMINUM, SUCH AS SOFT DRINK CANS, IS MADE INTO ALUMINUM
SHEETING FOR THE AUTO TRADE AND GENERAL USE
• STEEL CANS ARE MADE INTO STEEL CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS
• JUICE BOXES/ TETRA PACKS ARE USED FOR PAPER TOWEL AND
TISSUE PRODUCTION
RECYCLING AND REUSE

17. LANDFILL
IT IS THE PROCESS OF DISPOSAL OF WASTE BY BURYING THEM UNDER THE
EARTH.
COMPOSTING
IT IS A MOST WIDELY USED DISPOSAL TECHNIQUE. IT IS THE PROCESS OF
BURYING OF BIODEGRADABLE WASTE AND RECYCLING THE ORGANIC WASTE
INTO A NEW SOIL WHICH CAN BE USED FOR LANDSCAPING AND GROWING
VEGETABLES.
BENEFITS OF COMPOSTING
• KEEPS ORGANIC WASTES OUT OF LANDFILLS.
• PROVIDES NUTRIENTS TO THE SOIL.
• INCREASES BENEFICIAL SOIL ORGANISMS
• REDUCES THE NEED FOR FERTILIZERS AND PESTICIDES.
• PROTECTS SOILS FROM EROSION.
INCINERATION
INCINERATION IS A PROCESS OF BURNING OF WASTE MATERIAL AT HIGH
TEMPERATURES. IT REDUCES A WEIGHT OF THE WASTE BY TWO THIRDS AND
ITS VOLUME BY 90%. CAUSES LOT OF AIR POLLUTION AND RELEASES
POISONOUS CHEMICALS INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. SOME OF THE INCINERATION
PLANTS WERE USED IN INDIA BUT DUE TO HIGH ECONOMIC VALUE IT IS NOT
USED NOWADAYS.
DISPOSAL METHODS

18. BIODEGRADABLE WASTE
Biodegradable waste is a Type of waste, typically
originating from Plant or Animal sources, which
may be broken down by other living organisms.
Waste that cannot be broken down by other living
organisms may be called non-biodegradable.
