A typical household garbage bag comprises wastes ranging from milk cartons, food leftovers, waste plastic bottles and utensils. Solid waste is everything that goes into the trash. Our household waste is also considered as solid waste. Just like domestic wastes, wastes are also collected from our neighbourhood, schools, offices, hospitals etc. This waste collected by the municipality is called Municipal Solid waste.

Sewage is primarily waste water which consists of waste matter like faeces or dirty water from various houses and factories. This wastewater flows from their source to the dumping sink via a network of pipes called sewers.
