The sorting of waste into separate bins is called waste segregation. You can segregate waste by clubbing waste into categories and bins. Here are some basic categories to start you on your way.
Paper
Cardboard (including packaging for return to suppliers)
Glass (clear, tinted – no light bulbs or window panes, which belong with residual waste)
Plastics
Textiles
Wood, leather, rubber
Scrap metal
Compost (goes into the composting bin)
Special/hazardous waste
Residual waste (light bulbs, window panes)
E-waste (computer bits and electronic devices to be thrown away)
You can call a recycler <–(Google Link) or locally recycle it.
Waste sorting/segregation is a great way to reduce your waste. If you don’t sort your waste, all of it will go to a landfill or end up in the ocean, where it will kill local animals, spread diseases to landfill-workers, pollute ground water and eventually overflow (causing the nearby ecology to die or suffer).
So make sure you get multiple bins for these categories and throw waste in respectively.
Thanks for being the change!
