Question

Why should biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes be discarded in two separate dustbins?(Delhi - 2015)

Answer 1

Bio degradable waste and non biodegradable wast should be discarded separately because if both the wages are mixed then the recycle department would not be able to segregate the wastes. This will not help us to make the recyclable products and the waste will keep on accumulating. We should discard the waste separately to save time and use the waste in a better way. The biodegradable waste can be used as a compost or manure for plants. This will prevent the use of fertilisers which increase the acidity of soil. Non biodegradable waste will be recycled and new items will be made out of it.
