The green dustbins are used for collecting bio-degradable wastes

SOLUTION

We should try to use recycled paper.

We should dispose of kitchen waste in compost pits.

Non-biodegradable wastes such as plastic, polythene, glass and metals should always be sent for recycling.

We should use towels and handkerchiefs in place of tissue papers, as they can be washed and reused.

Waste that does not decompose on its own needs to be recycled.

This type of waste is called Non-biodegradable waste.

SOLUTION

Wastes like vegetable and fruit peels, paper, clothes, animal and plant wastes etc are known as bio-degradable wastes.

SOLUTION

Bio-degradable wastes decompose when buried in a compost pit. Eventually, they turn into manure which helps to make the soil fertile.

SOLUTION
