The best ways to get rid of this garbage:

  • Within the school complex, biodegradable waste can be collected and dumped into a pit in a corner where the pit will be ground covered and watered.
  • When the pit is fully finished, a mixture of dung and clay could be spread out for a few weeks as an outer cover and when the garbage has turned black in color and no foul smell is released after a few weeks, it means garbage rotting is complete, and compost is ready to use.
  • Similarly, the non-biodegradable waste can be sold off for reuse or recycling
