We can help reducing the waste disposal problem by changing our life style and attitude. If we minimize the use of disposable articles and start using only those articles which can easily be recycled, the quantity of waste can be reduced.
1. Non-biodegradable waste: Most often the non biodegradable waste is recycled. It is taken away by rag-pickers.
2. Biodegradable waste: Biodegradable waste is putrescible to prepare compost for our kitchen gardens. It can be composted or vermicomposted
Some prominent methods of waste disposal are land fills, production of bio-gas and manure, and incineration.
