We can in help in reducing the waste disposal problem by changing our life style and attitude. If we minimise 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. It can be composted or vermicomposted to prepare compost for our kitchen gardens. Some prominent methods of waste disposal are land fills, production of biogas and manure, and incineration.
