Question
How pollution by domestic garbage can be controlled?
✓

Answer

  1. Everybody should learn to segregate garbage at source. The wet i.e. biodegradable and dry i.e. non-biodegradable materials should be separated, instead of throwing them callously in trash.
  2. Non-biodegradable material can be recycled or reused. It should be disposed off in proper way.
  3. Biodegradable material should be composted at home by simple methods of vermicomposting.
  4. Every household should practise these methods which will reduce the volume of garbage that is sent out to land filling or burning.
  5. The excessive load on Municipalities can also be reduced if each one takes the responsibility of his or her own garbage.
  6. Larger establishments like offices, schools or industries should provide space for solid waste and other garbage management.
