Question
How citizens should sort out solid wastes?
✓

Answer

  1. All the collected wastes should be categorized into three types, viz. biodegradable, non- biodegradable and recyclable.
  2. Each person should sort out the waste. The biodegradable wastes should be put into deep pits and allowed to undergo slow degradation. Every building should have pit for biodegradable domestic wastes.
  3. Recyclable material like newspaper, plastic bags, empty milk pouches should be sold off.
  4. Every citizen should reduce his or her garbage generation and should also minimize the use of non-biodegradable products. Simple change such as refusing a plastic bag and using a reusable cloth bag can solve the problem of plastic garbage.
