The document provides 7 steps for individuals to properly segregate and dispose of their waste in an environmentally friendly manner. It instructs people to separate their waste into wet organic waste, recyclables like paper, plastic and metal, e-waste, hazardous waste, and rejects to be sent to landfills. By properly segregating waste, individuals can ensure more materials are recycled instead of ending up in dumps, and can convert organic waste to compost. The document emphasizes that segregating waste daily into the appropriate containers and then collecting and disposing of it properly on a weekly basis can help close the loop of reducing waste and protecting the environment.
