According to my knowledge, the main aim of waste segregation at home is to separate the dry and wet wastes so that we can use the dry waste for recycling and wet wastes for composting.
How do I do waste segregation in my home?
1. We keep separate containers (both are blue in color) for the dry and wet waste. Wet wastes are collected in the kitchen. Non-recycling dry wastes are collected in another dustbin kept in the washroom.
2. I collect all dry wastes which can be recycled in our car shed such as single-use plastics (bottles, spoons) and newspapers/magazines.
3. I ensure that the plastic containers are cleaned before throwing them in the bin.
4. I also collect these dry wastes from my neighborhood, school, and send them to recycling centers.
5. I use the wet wastes such as fruit, vegetable peels for composting.
6. Garden waste – I compost the leaves in my home garden itself.
