Explain the management of waste of your house.

Solution

The methods of waste management in our house are:
i) Use cloth bags instead of plastic: This small measure will help us to reduce the amount of waste that we bring into our house. If we go shopping we can bring our own reusable cloth bags instead of accepting plastic bags from the store.
ii) Buy food that has less packaging: If we buy food that comes in boxes wrapped in plastic with individually-wrapped serving sizes inside, that will produce more waste. We should rice, beans, cereals, teas, spices, and other dry foods in the bulk food section of our grocery store. Store the foods in airtight glass or plastic containers when getting home.
iv) Do vermicomposting: We can make our own worm composting system.
a) Buy dairy items in containers you can return.
b) Buy goods from farmer's markets because they offer mounds of fresh produce that have never touched plastic and bring cloth bags to carry the purchases home.
v) Don't use bottled drinks: Bottled water and other bottled drinks are a major source of waste in many places. Instead of using bottled water, filter the water and stored it in a jar.
vi) Reduce paper usage: Pay the bills online instead of paying in paper bills,
read news online instead of having a newspaper delivered to the house, take measures to stop junk mail from overflowing your mailbox.
