Waste disposal is becoming the biggest problem of all local bodies. It is consuming a big chunk of their revenues. Even then the points of collection are turning into stinking areas. Transport of waste to disposal site is seldom perfect. There is stink all the way. A lot of waste is thrown on the roads by the vehicles carrying the waste. The quantity of waste can be reduced if you form the habit of separation of waste into biodegradable and non- biodegradable parts.
1. Non- biodegradable Waste.
Most often the non- biodegradable waste is recycled. It is taken away by rag pickers.
2. Biodegradable Waste.
Biodegradable waste is putressible. It can be composted or vermicompisted to prepare compost for your kitchen gardens. The technique can also be used in schools and other institutions. Some institutes in big cities have installed incinerators for disposal of combustible components of waste. Hospital waste is being compulsorily incinerated to reduce contamination and spread of diseases.

The two methods which can help in reducing the problem of waste disposal are : recycling, and preparation of compost. These are described below.
- The solid wastes like paper, plastics, glass and metals, etc., are recycled. For example, waste paper is sent to paper mills where it is reprocessed to form new paper once again. The broken plastic articles like plastic bags, buckets, bowls, cups, plates, etc., are sent to plastic processing factories where they are melted and remoulded to make new articles. Similarly, waste metal articles are sent to metal industries where they are melted and recycled as solid metal for various purposes.
- Biodegradable domestic wastes such as left-over food, fruit and vegetable peels, and leaves of potted plants, etc., can be converted into compost by burying in a pit dug into ground, and used as manure.
