HOMEWORK 1

Waste management is an essential practice that every household

should take seriously. At home, we have implemented a waste
disposal system that involves separating the waste into different
categories: organic waste, recyclable waste, and non-recyclable
waste.
Organic waste, which includes food scraps and garden waste, is collected in
a compost bin. We have a designated area in the backyard where we
compost our organic waste. We add leaves, twigs, and other yard waste to
our compost bin, which helps to speed up the decomposition process. Once
the compost is ready, we use it to enrich the soil in our garden.

Recyclable waste, such as paper, plastic, glass, and metal, is collected in a

separate bin. We have a recycling bin that we fill up and take to the
barangay compose pit. We make sure to rinse out any containers before
putting them in the recycling bin to prevent contamination.

Non-recyclable waste, such as styrofoam, some plastics, and other non-

biodegradable materials, is collected in a garbage bin. We make sure to
limit the amount of non-recyclable waste we generate by choosing
products with minimal packaging and avoiding single-use items.

In addition to our waste disposal system, we also practice waste reduction

strategies to minimize the amount of waste we generate. We use reusable
bags, containers, and water bottles instead of disposable ones. We avoid
using paper towels and instead use cloth napkins and towels. We also
donate or sell items we no longer need instead of throwing them away.

In conclusion, waste management is an important practice that

every household should implement. Our waste disposal system
involves separating the waste into different categories and
making sure to properly dispose of each type. We also practice
waste reduction strategies to minimize the amount of waste we
generate. By doing our part, we can contribute to a cleaner and
healthier environment for ourselves and future generations.

 Here are some ways to
reduce waste generation
at home

1 Use reusable bags, containers, and water bottles

instead of disposable ones.

2 Buy products with minimal packaging, or

packaging that can be recycled or composted.

3
Avoid single-use items such as paper towels,
disposable utensils, and straws.

4 Donate or sell items you no longer need instead of

throwing them away.

5
Use cloth napkins and towels instead of paper
ones.

6
Use rechargeable batteries instead of disposable
ones.

7 Choose products made from sustainable

materials.

8
Repair items instead of replacing them when
possible.

By following these simple steps, we can

reduce the amount of waste we generate
at home and contribute to a healthier
environment.
