As we know, urban activities generate large quantities of city wastes which includes both biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes. As there are different types of wastes, so it is important to classify them as biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes. The wastes consisting of vegetables, animal wastes, papers, plant twigs, cloth wastes etc are classified as biodegradable wastes as they get decomposed naturally by action of micro-organisms.
