Question

Garbage is a great environmental hazard. It comes from various sources-used paper, tiffin

packings, bottle caps, plastic bags, ice-cream wrappers, fallen leaves from trees and many

more. Garbage makes the premises ugly, unkempt and breeds diseases.

A lot of trash that is thrown away contain material that can be recycled and reused such as

paper, metals and glass which can be sent to the nearest recycling centre or disposed off to the

junk dealer. It also contains organic matter such as leaves which can enrich soil fertility. A

composite pit can be made at a convenient location where the refuse can be placed with layers

of soil and an occasional sprinkling of water. This would help decomposition to make valuable

fertilizer. This would also prevent pollution that is usually caused by burning such organic waste.
