Some Easy Steps to Segregate Trash at Home.

Mar 2, 2017 12:01AM PST

Why should I do Segregation?

The answer to this is super simple-
1) In order to reduce the amount of waste stockpiling the landfills and prevent our water & air resources from getting contaminated & polluted.

2) To guarantee that every waste generated is sorted out & it is passed through an essential process such as composting, recycling, incineration, etc.

Segregation of waste at home is really an easy task to do.

Let's keep 2 containers at home 1 for dry waste (recyclable) & other for Wet Waste( Composting).
Share your views if you got a bright idea for segregation of waste for households.

Segregation is necessary.

Segregation of waste can be done by like minded people of residential communities. Separating organic waste & dry waste( such as plastic & glass bottles, aluminum cans, metals, wood, etc.) can make recycling hassle free.

Worm food...simple logic in regards to organic waste

Worms don't like onion or garlic. They're fine with old coffee grounds. I don't like onions or garlic but I do drink coffee. Ergo, I must be a worm.
