How to improve waste disposal?
Over the last few weeks we have been observing the mess due to garbage accumulation all over our city. In order to curb this issue we need to implement waste management system. I do agree that the local government has totally failed to take preventive steps. This may be because of the huge amount of waste generated from each household everyday and it might have become difficult for the authorities to dispose this huge amount of waste generated. However, as responsible citizens, there are some actions that we can take. And remember, these are inexpensive and easy to manage steps. What is required is our willingness to try and and stick to it.
So here I am listing out a few things you can try at home;
What you can do to improve waste disposal?
* keep one spare plastic bag near your dustbin to dispose plastic items
* deposit all your plastic waste (food wrappers, shopping bags, magazine covers etc.) into this bag
* keep one extra bucket on your floor and mark it as ‘plastic waste only’
* Once your bag is filled, dispose this plastic bag from your house in this bucket
Advantages:
* your own dustbin does not get filled up with plastic waste
* it will be easy for the housekeeping people to manage the segregated waste at their end
* you can arrange a plastic waste collector to pickup waste from your apartment and hence reduces load on the garbage contractor
* finally you are helping your city to remain clean!
I have been practicing it for the past two months and believe me it is working well. Do try it out.
