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

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

organic waste.
