Farm waste comes in several types, including biodegradable, non-biodegradable, hazardous, and non-hazardous waste. Biodegradable waste such as grass clippings and fruit peels can be used to enhance soil quality. Non-biodegradable waste like plastic bags and metal wires require proper disposal in landfills. Hazardous wastes from chemicals and materials like broken glass or empty pesticide containers pose health risks and require careful treatment and storage. Proper management of agricultural waste is important for farm safety and the environment.
