Taking Charge of Waste

Wet Waste (Green Dustbin)

Kitchen waste like vegetable peels, fruit scraps, and leftover food items that rot easily and can be turned into compost.

Dry Waste (Blue Dustbin)

Items like paper, plastic, glass, and metal that do not rot easily and can often be recycled to make new things.

Reduce

Using fewer things and making less waste, such as carrying a cloth bag instead of taking a new plastic bag every time.

Reuse

Using old items again in a new way, like making a pen stand out of an empty plastic water bottle.

Recycle

Sending used things like old newspapers and plastic containers to factories to melt and make brand new products.

Composting

Collecting wet kitchen waste in a pit in the soil so it breaks down naturally and makes the soil rich for plants.
