Types of Kitchen Waste

  • Organic waste: food scraps (vegetable peels, fruit cores, coffee grounds, eggshells) and leftovers.
  • Recyclable waste: paper and cardboard, plastics with recycling symbols, glass jars and bottles, and metal cans or foil.
  • Non-recyclable waste: plastic wraps, soiled paper products (contaminated with food or grease), and plastics not accepted by local recycling programmes.
  • Hazardous waste: cleaning chemicals, batteries, and small electronic devices that require special disposal.
  • Food waste: expired or spoiled food, often due to improper storage or extended shelf life.
  • Specialty waste: organic waste suitable for composting, and bulk items from large packaging.

Proper segregation and disposal of these waste types helps reduce landfill waste, conserve resources, and promote recycling and composting.
