How is waste created?
Waste is created through our everyday activities.
We dispose of old clothes, tins, bottles, paper, peels of vegetables and fruits, plastic wrappers, pencil shavings, old batteries, and many other things.
Activities like using packaged products, take-away food, plastic items, and decorations all produce waste. The more things we buy, the more waste gets created.

We dispose of various items like old clothes, tins, bottles, paper, vegetable and fruit peels, plastic wrappers, pencil shavings, and old batteries.
