Garbage is the collective term for trash, waste materials, and all unwanted and used products. Waste from the kitchen, waste from vegetables and fruits, spoiled food products, animal wastes, waste papers, dried leaves, plastic materials, husk, weed, cattle wastes, and other waste products are primarily included. Garbage bins are transported to various recycling plants, where waste is separated into two groups. All dry waste, including newspapers, plastics, glass, and other items, is separated into different containers where it can be recycled and reused to create new usable products.
The biodegradable wastes are collected in separate containers and used to make manure, biogas, and biofuel.
