1. What is dry and wet waste?
2. Why do we need to segregate our garbage?

Answer 1

1. Dry waste and wet waste are the two main kinds of household garbage. Both must be disposed of and recycled in separate ways. Cooked and raw food, garbage from fruits and flowers, fallen leaves, sweeping dust, and other similar items are all considered wet waste. On the other hand, dry waste includes items like paper, plastic, rubber, metals, leather, textile rags, wire, glass, and so on. Dry waste is not organic; wet waste is organic.
2. Garbage segregation is crucial for efficient waste management and disposal. Recycling becomes less difficult. Effective waste segregation reduces the amount of waste sent to landfill, making it more affordable and beneficial for both people and the environment. Separation is essential for the public's health.
