and reused such as paper, metals and glass which can be sent to the nearest recycling centre or disposed of
to the junk dealer. It also contains organic matter such as leaves which can enrich soil fertility. A compost pit
can be made at a convenient location where the refuse can be placed with layers of soil and an occasional
sprinkling of water. This would help decomposition to make valuable fertilizer. This would also prevent
