Waste Management and Disposal

 

Waste Management and Disposal

Today we see that there is garbage accumulated  everywhere. We see that there are dustbins everywhere, but despite that we don’t use them and litter everywhere. In fact I also see that the garbage are not thrown in the dustbin, but thrown around it. On the beaches also people just eat, drink and throw those bottles on the beach. The waves of the sea come and take that garbage with it, and that’s how the sea also gets polluted and dirty. People might actually think that nothing would happen if they just throw a wrapper of chocolate on the street, but if everyone starts thinking the same, then that day is not too far when the road will be full of plastic. So to avoid such circumstances we can start following small steps like

Ø Throwing the garbage in the dustbin and not elsewhere

Ø While travelling when you are eating something and finish it, put the wrapper  or tetra pack in your bag and then when you find a dustbin, throw it in that

Ø When you come across anyone who is just littering around, try to stop them from doing so

We need to keep our nation clean so that we don’t create a bad picture for our future generation

Now coming to our housing societies.

The govt is actually doing so much. They have provided guidelines for segregation of waste. We see two types of dustbins dry and wet waste.

So in our house also now its mandatory to separate our waste. The BMC in Mumbai has provided pamphlets for each housing society with pictures depicting what should be thrown as dry and wet waste. This is so that wet waste can be converted into compost and used for gardens and plants. The society can even sell this compost. The dry waste can be recycled. This is the best way of waste disposal.
