Rag picking, while socially deplorable, is a valuable service whose benefits are not immediately visible.

Recycle – Don’t Throw Away that Empty Can.

Where does your garbage go after your garbage man picks it up?

What is the great common denominator of intellectual accomplishment? In math, science, economics, history, or any subject, the answer is the same: great thinkers notice patterns.

Recycling and waste management could be done together rather than separately; landfills could be phased out and replaced by better ways.

The world is already embracing various recycling methods, but it is not enough. Every household, including yours and mine, must participate even in our own simple ways.

One way of classifying waste materials is to classify them as hazardous or non-hazardous. Our garbage at home like our used steel brush or our old carpet is considered non-hazardous wastes.

There have also been cases in municipalities that landfills pollute the water system. This could mean the outbreak of intestinal diseases like cholera and diarrhea.

Of the wastes that end up in your waste bin, try to look at it. You may, for example see fruit peelings, your rotten oranges in your refrigerator, a pair of worn out slippers, an old hairbrush and some plastic bags. Of the things, you know what is biodegradable and can be saved and non-biodegradable that can not be saved but can still be recycled!

Some countries also used incinerators to burn garbage in tightly-closed containers. Inside the incinerator, pyrolysis takes place. In this process, chemical components are break down into gases and inert gases.
