Summary
Conclusion :
- Landfills: Landfill is an area where the garbage collected from a city or town is dumped. The area is later converted into a park.
- Large areas used for waste disposal are called landfills.
- There are mainly two types of wastes based on their ability to rot over some time:
- Biodegradable
- Non-Biodegradable wastes.
- Biodegradable wastes: Wastes that rot by the action of decomposers are called biodegradable wastes.
- Non-biodegradable wastes: Wastes that do not rot by the action of decomposers are called non-biodegradable wastes.
- Composting: Converting plant and animal waste including that from kitchen, into manure, is called composting.
- Recycling organic wastes like vegetable peels, waste food, leaves, etc., by burying them in compost pits is called composting.
- Vermicomposting: Composting with the help from kitchen garbage and a type of earthworm, called red worms, is called vermicomposting.
- Vermicomposting and landfills are two ways of managing solid wastes.
- Paper can be recycled to get useful products. Plastics cannot be converted into less harmful substances by the process of composting.
- We need to generate less waste and find ways of dealing with the increasing amount of garbage in our surroundings.
- Recycling: The process by which waste materials are used to make new products.
