Use cloth bags instead of plastic.
- This small measure will greatly reduce the amount of waste you bring into your house. You can bring your own reusable cloth bags instead of accepting plastic bags from the store
Buy food that has less packaging - Buy food with minimal packaging, especially plastic packaging and store the foods in airtight glass or plastic containers when you get home.
Reuse containers. - Durable containers can be reused a number of times before they need to go out with the garbage or recycling. Bottles, boxes and bags can all serve a second purpose
Reduce your paper usage. - Go paperless when it comes to bills; choose to pay them online instead.
- Consider reading your news online instead of having a newspaper delivered to your house.

-
Consider making your own household cleaners and detergents. - Many of the containers used for cleaners and detergents aren't recyclable, so they end up going in the garbage.
Essential Steps Involved in Waste Management Monitoring
The first step in properly managing waste is monitoring. This includes identifying and assessing the needs of the entity – be it a household or a commercial organization, and identifying all opportunities for recycling and minimizing waste output. After closing the cycle, the monitoring process also includes evaluating the results of the waste minimization efforts and making corrections in the waste collection and disposal methods used in order to improve the environmental friendliness and efficiency of the entity.
Collection
Rubbish collection involves organizing the logistics so that waste bins are collected on time and there are no bad smells or overspills resulting from waste sitting uncollected for too long. There should be separate, clearly marked bins available for collecting different types of waste – recyclable plastics, metal, paper, glass, general rubbish, etc. Rubbish disposal bins should be handled by trained and authorized personnel only in order to prevent public hazards and injuries.
Transportation
This step involves transporting the waste from the collection point to a processing plant or landfill. Only vehicles designated for carrying waste should be used for the purpose.
Processing
For effective management and disposal, after the waste is collected and transported to a reprocessing plant, it should be separated for further treatment. Recyclable items should be separated from non-recyclables and further broken down into different types of recyclable materials that require different methods of reprocessing. Hazardous waste should be sent to specialized treatment facilities to be safely reprocessed.
Recycling/Disposal
After processing the rubbish, the waste carrier should see to its efficient and safe recycling and disposal. Non-recyclable materials should be taken straight to the landfill for waste disposal. The landfill sites used for the purpose have to be licensed and approved by the authorities. This guarantees that waste will be buried at the right depth and there will be no seepage into the ground waters or soil contamination. Recyclables, on the other hand, should be reprocessed in the relevant recycling plants to create raw materials which can then be sold for sustainable production of new items without depleting the natural resources.
