How is density of waste useful in planning waste management studies
Answers
The density of solid waste is about 300 kg/m3 from residential areas, about 400 kg/m3 from hotels and nearly 285 kg/m3 from vegetable and fruit market. This density is at the source of generation (shown in Table 1).
Start by composting your food waste or garden waste instead of dumping it. If composting sounds like too much work, send your organic waste to a recycling facility instead of dumping it in landfills. Also, refrain from using disposables and plastics and use reusable or recyclable products instead.
