Understanding General Waste

General waste, commonly known as residual waste, consists of items that don’t fit into the recyclable category and are not hazardous. This includes non-recyclable plastics, ceramics, used tissues, and broken glass, among others. While the aim is to minimize this type of waste, there will always be some residual matter that needs proper disposal.

Tips to Reduce General Waste

  • Buy Wisely: Consider quality over quantity. Invest in durable items that last longer and aren’t single-use.
  • Repair and Reuse: Before tossing an item, consider if it can be repaired. A little mending or some DIY can give items a second life.
  • Limit Disposable Products: Opt for reusable alternatives like cloth napkins, beeswax wraps, and refillable containers.
  • Composting: Organic waste, like vegetable peels, can be composted at home, reducing the need to throw it in the general waste.
  • Educate & Inform: Be aware of what can be recycled and ensure it doesn’t end up in the general waste. Share this knowledge with family and peers.
  • Donate: If items are in good condition but no longer needed, consider donating them to local charities.
