 What do you know about garbage?

Garbage is everything considered as waste

and that needs to be disposed of. Garbage is
a product of human activities which is
considered worthless, disgusting and
undesirable, which is why it is normally
incinerated or placed in predestined places
for collection to be channeled to landfills or
landfills, sanitary landfills or other places.

Garbage must be classified, when everything

is thrown away in a messy way, mixing it with
organic waste, the garbage becomes dirty,
smelly and dangerous for health. Their
destination is the landfills, where inorganic
waste can be buried without decomposing
for hundreds of years.
 What are the consequences of garbage misuse?
A bad waste management
system will cause deterioration
and depreciation of the
environment due to air, water
and soil pollution and the loss
of agricultural land.
 What is the adequate way to handle garbage?

separate and classify our waste to:

• Reuse, reuse a product and take this aspect into
account when we purchase the product. Many
products can be reused with creativity, giving a
new utility to the object that we would otherwise
throw away.

• Replacing requires the purchase of products with

a long shelf life, biodegradable, non-toxic and
with less environmental impact.

• Recycle, recycling allows reintroducing the

different materials in the production cycles, saving
raw materials and reducing the flow of waste that
will end up in the final disposal treatments.
