3. TYPES OF WASTE
1) Organic Waste.
Organic waste refers to rotten meat, garden and food waste. This type of rubbish is
commonly found in homes. With time, they decompose and turn into manure by the action of
microorganisms on them. But be careful; you should not dispose of them anywhere you like.
When decomposing, organic waste produces methane, so, it must not be thrown away with
regular waste. Instead, get a green bin and dispose of this type of waste properly.
2) Hazardous Waste.
Hazardous waste includes flammable, corrosive, toxic and reactive materials. In a nutshell,
they are wastes that pose a significant or potential threat to our environment.
4. TYPES OF WASTE
3) Solid Waste.
• Solid waste is any garbage, sludge, and refuse found in industrial and commercial
locations. The five major types of solid rubbish are;
• Glass and Ceramics: Numerous companies readily recycle ceramics and glass. The catch
here is that you have to dispose of them correctly.
• Plastic waste: Plastic waste is any container, jar, bottle, and bag that is found in companies
and houses. Plastics are non-biodegradable, and most of them cannot be recycled. Do not mix
plastic rubbish with regular waste. Instead, sort them out before throwing them away.
• Paper rubbish: This refers to all newspapers, packaging materials, cardboards, and other
paper products. Paper is recyclable.
• Metals and Tins: You can easily find tins and metals in homes because food containers and
household materials are made from them. Most metals are recyclable, so take them to a
scrap yard or recycling depot after use.

4) Liquid waste.
• The three methods we can remove liquid wastes from wherever they’re located
include;
• Containment: This involves storing liquid waste in barrels or tanks so that they can be
removed from our surroundings. Containing liquid waste prevents it from being dumped
in our environment.
• Treatment: All liquid wastes do not need to be thrown away. You can treat and reuse
them
• Disposal: If no treatment can be done on liquid waste, then it should be disposed of.

5) Recyclable Rubbish.
• Recyclable rubbish includes all waste items that can be converted into products
that can be used again. Solid items such as paper, metals, furniture and organic waste
can all be recycled.
• Instead of throwing these items in with regular waste, which then ends up in
landfills, place them in your yellow recycling bin.
• If you’re unsure whether an item is recyclable or not, look at the packaging or the
diagrams on the lid of your yellow recycling bin. Most products will explicitly state
whether they are recyclable or not.
7. HOW TO COLLECT THOSE WASTE
There are three types of waste collection.
1. Household.
2. Neighbourhood.
3. Community.
8. I. Containers .
Waste containers are useful for temporarily holding solid waste before it is collected for disposal.
II. Cleaning equipment .
After collecting waste from a home or a public collection site, it is good practice to clean the area of any
residue.
The type of equipment depends on the area to be cleaned, the nature of the waste, and personal
preference. For household and community systems, individuals must provide their own equipment. For
paid worker systems, the equipment should be provided by the community.
III. Transporting waste.
There are many ways to transport waste, depending on the amount and type of materials, and the
distance to the processing or disposal site.

11. WHY RECYCLING IMPORTANT?
• Recycling saves materials, reduces the need to landfill and incinerate, cuts
down pollution, and helps to make the environment more attractive.
• Recycling doesn't just save materials: it saves energy too.
13. WHAT TYPES OF WASTE CAN BE
RECYCLED?
Waste Paper And Cardboard.

16. CONCLUSION
• Recycling waste saves over 30% of energy in the production of new packaging or
materials
• Thanks to recycling, the consumption of raw materials is reduced (which are
already scarce in Spain and Europe). The ratio is greater than 1 to 1. Recycling
1,000 kg of paper saves 12 trees from being felled.
• Recycling reduces water consumption and pollution. Only 2% of the water on earth
is potable
• Recycling contributes to reducing the emission of gases that cause global warming,
which is real and exists
• And, above all, if we recycle waste, not only will we obtain direct benefits but also
indirect ones, that is, we will avoid the inconveniences caused by landfills and
incinerators.
