Weather you can call it trash , rubbish , garbage or junk , any item that people have no use for and they throw out ,is generally known as "waste" . Waste is made up of different things . Rubbish , or trash , is the mixed waste that comes from people 's homes . It is made up of food , paper , and packaging materials . scrap and junk are metal waste .Fallen and trimmed leaves and branches from trees make up garden waste .
Where did that come from ???
Waste is created by individuals , families , schools, offices , towns , cities , and countries . The amount and kind of waste that is generated by people depend on the part of the world they live in , what they buy and use , and the work they do . on an average , around the world , each person makes about two kilo grams of waste per day .
Solid waste
Waste from homes , businesses , and schools is called municipal solid waste (MSW) . It could be a plastic toy , a metal knife or a newspaper . It could also be a worn- out - belt , a juice carton , a chocolate wrapper or an old T - shirt. In countries such as USA and Australia each person creates about seven hundred kilo grams of waste every year . In India , one person in a large town creates about 180 kilo grams of waste every year , while in a small town , a person adds about thirty - six kilo grams each year .
Where does it go ????
Have you ever wondered where your garbage goes ??? Most people only want that the stinking trash leave their homes and is out of their sight . However , now it has become important for everyone who makes trash to know how their rubbish is damaging planet Earth .
In most countries , trash is either burned in an incinerator or buried in a landfill . Microbes , or bacteria, in the soil eat away the garbage and help break it down slowly over many many years.
