- 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.
