Segregation of waste management ensures that trash gets sorted correctly, making it easier to take care of and recycle. Educate family, workmates, or the neighborhood about the need for segregation and proper disposal. Rinse recyclable items to ensure the waste is clean and dry. Do not combine wet and dry garbage together. Convert kitchen and garden waste into organic manure. Put hazardous materials \u2014 batteries and other chemicals as well as electronic waste \u2014 in labeled containers and recycle them at designated places. If you can, either reuse or flatten cardboard to save space. Build a garbage segregation station at home or office and participate in local recycling drives or composting.
