Effective ways for waste management and disposal
Waste disposal is a herculean task, which if not managed properly can negatively affect the environment by causing pollution and create health hazards for rag pickers and sanitation workers who sort out the waste. To ensure the efficient functioning of waste disposal management systems and the safety of the personals involved we must be aware of the bellow listed factors.
Different types of waste
Waste can generally be classified into wet waste and dry waste. Dry waste includes materials that doesn’t rot and have low to no-moisture content. They are inorganic materials like plastics, glass, iron, and similar products. Wet waste, commonly referred to as organic waste, includes materials that naturally decompose over time. Wet waste include food, oils, etc., and the largest producers of wet waste are restaurants and households.
Waste segregation at the source
The center for science and environment, an organization that educates on proper waste management solutions, stresses on the importance of segregating waste at source. Poor segregation methods at source has led to the slow and gradual filling of landfills. Mixing of different types of waste could also eventually lead to damaging the local waterways and soil. It even reduces the reusability of dry waste like cardboard and paper. This can be prevented through dry and wet waste sorting at home, at places of work, at events, and in public places. Proper segregation drastically improves the efficiency of waste disposal methods by reducing the number of sorting processes at waste management facilities.
Awareness about waste segregation
Studies show that cities which follow a good waste segregation policy have increased efficiency in processing waste in landfills. Effective implementation of these policies will eventually lead to low to zero land fill cities. But only very few people know that waste can be recycled if they are segregated the right way. Steps should be taken to educate the public on the importance and benefits of waste segregation at the source. Outreach through panchayat led door to door meetings and awareness programs can help to spread the message.
Waste disposal methods
- Separate containers for dry and wet waste
- Separate container for toxic or hazardous waste
- Dispose wet waste on a daily and dry waste on weekly basis
- Use wet waste to create compost
- Households, enterprises, shops, and public places should be provided with proper segregation bins
- Reduce waste generation by investing only in things you need

Let’s Face the Facts – Plastic is Killing Life!
Plastics, massively growing municipal waste, accounted to over 14 million tons of waste in 2017. From appliances to batteries, plastic materials are being used by most manufacturers across the globe.
The consequences of excessive plastic use have been deadly and continue to rise! We are now in a ‘Now or never’ situation.
Reasons Why We Must Stop Using Plastic
- We are surrounded by Plastic Ever notice what’s around your home or office spaces? It’s mostly plastic, isn’t it? All that plastic around you is a waste that gets accumulated on the surface of our planet.
- We are killing the marine life Plastic will remain on the earth’s surface in one form or the other. Because of this disposed waste, marine life has been affected badly. Aquatic beings, for no fault of their own, are finding it difficult to survive in such an environment.
- Plastic Leads to Health Issues and Lifestyle Problems Overuse of Plastic materials isn’t just bad for the planet, but also for one’s health. BPA (bisphenol A) is present in most plastics, and when we store items in containers it comes directly in contact with the food as well. This chemical interacts with human hormones like estrogen and leads to various ailments like infertility, breast and prostate cancer, and period irregularities. BPA is also linked to obesity, thyroid dysfunction, miscarriage, increased blood pressure, birth defects, diabetes risk among others.
- Plastic Could Take Away Nature In popular cities across the country, there’s a heap of garbage in every corner. Animals feed on it. If they consume plastic in any form, it can be life-threatening for them. 60% of single-use plastic or disposable waste gets accumulated in landfills or in our natural surroundings.
We need to stop the demand and the supply will automatically decrease! Recycling is by far the best way to reduce the waste. Saahas Zero Waste is one of the frontrunners in the plastic waste management sector in India.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
