The waste like waste food ,useless paper,polythene bags ,useless parts of vegetables and fruits ,bottles,broken utensils ,rubbish etc are called solid wastes. These wastes are produced in different places such as houses ,shops ,hospitals,hotels and schools.
The solid wastes are of two types decomposable wastes and non decomposable wastes. The waste produced from plan ts ,animals and foodstuffs get decomposed after sometime and turn into organic matter. These wastes are called decomposable or organic wastes,But the wastes like metal pieces,plastics,glass,rags and other fabrics do not get decomposed and exist for long time .Such wastes are called non decomposable.
If the solid wastes are not managed properly ,the affect us in the following ways:
a.The home area becomes dirty ,filthy and uncivilized
b.The wastes can pollute the water resources,which can transmit several water borne
diseases to the people
c.The of organic wastes produces bad intolerable smell which makes people sick
d.The unmanaged heaps of wastes attract rats,flies,mosquitoes,bacteria and other germs which can cause dangerous diseases.
e.The wind and rain carry back the thrown wastes to our home and make dirty .The wastes can
stick to the soles of our shoes and enter our home as well.
Different problems arise due to the unmanaged waste, which can seriously damage our health.So,the solid wastes should be managed properly.The solid wastes can be managed in the following way.
a.CREATING LESS WASTES
You can lesson the production of wastes in several ways.For example,don't use things that have short term use .Carry your own bag or put while going for shopping .Separate the reusable wastes from the other wastes and recycle them if possible.You can sell the reusable wastes to the kawadi for recycling.(A Kawadi is a person who buys the reusable materials from the people at low cost and sells them to the recycle industry at more price) The wastes like papers,plastics,metal pieces,broken metal utensils, glass bottles etc can be sold to the kawadi.This practice helps to lessen the amount of solid wasted significantly.
b.RECYCLE OF SOLID WASTES
You can recycle some of the wastes yourself at your home .For example , you can reuse polythene bags , if they are kept safe and clean.You can convert written paper and news papers into paper bags which can be used to carry articles from shops and groceries.The newspaper and written papers can also be converted into files and cartons.
Big bottles,tin cans and glasses can be used to keep oil,spices,pulses,pickles etc. Similarly, the rags can be used to make the pillow,dolls and mattresses.Hence,if we recycle the wastes,we can get maximum benefit from them and reduce the amount of wastes.
c.CONVERSION OF SOLID INTO MANURE
The decomposable wastes like peels of vegetables,skin of fruits,waste rice,curry and other food items leaves of plants can be converted into compost manure.The compost manure is produced in a compost pit made by digging the earth.The conversion of solid wastes into manure is beneficial to us in two ways firstly ,it gives out an excellent manure and secondly ,it reduces the amount of wastes produced in the home.
d.INCINERATION
The process of managing the solid wastes by burning them is called incineration. The dry and combustible wastes like paper,plastics,wrapper,rags,cartons ,plastic bottles etc are can be incinerated.Them germs present in the wastes are also killed by the method.This method is applicable to manage the wastes produced in houses as well as hospital.
The disadvantage of this method is that it produces lot of smoke.
