Proper disposal of domestic garbage.

We never realize how simple practices at home can go a long way in securing a clean and green environment for us. Proper disposal of domestic garbage with segregation of recyclable waste is one such practice which if put into practice in our daily life can really work wonders.

All we need to do is the following :

Collect plastics and other recyclable waste separately (plastic bags, wrappers, empty milk packets, Paper waste etc.) and either pass them to recycling units or give them to garbage collectors. Now a days we get everything wrapped in plastic wrappers right from fruits and vegetables to dal and rice.. so its a good habit to collect these wrappers separately after using the contents. And once in a week these wrappers and other waste collected over the period can be passed on to the garbage collectors. They would send the plastic waste to the appropriate recycling agency.

So, all you need is two dustbins instead of one. One for your usual day to day waste and the other for the recyclable waste. Following this practice you would also get to know how much of plastic you use and you can try to reduce the usage of plastics. Here are some tips to do so.

Such simple domestic practices if practiced can take us a long way in reducing the use of plastics and stopping them from being disposed untreated. Most of the plastic not disposed properly end up either blocking drains or littering the roads. If properly disposed the waste plastic can be put to some good use.
