Question

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

bags, ice-cream wrappers, bottle caps, fallen leaves from trees and many more. Garbage makes the premises

ugly, unkempt and breeds diseases.

A lot of trash that is thrown away contains material that can be recycled and reused such as paper, metals and

glass which can be sent to the nearest recycling centre or disposed of to the junk dealer. It also contains organic

matter such as leaves which can enrich soil fertility. A compost pit can be made at a convenient location where

the refuse can be placed with layers of solid 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.
