Question

What is the difference between green dustbin and blue dustbin?

Answer 1

There are different kind of waste such as solid waste, glass waste, biological waste etc. So these wastes are dumped in separate coloured waste bins. Blue and Green Dustbins are used to segregate two different kinds of wastes, Green one is for wet waste and blue coloured dustbin is for dry waste. In municipalities, Blue coloured bins are used for collecting materials that are recyclable. The recyclable materials include paper- newspaper, magazines, etc., cardboard, food tins, glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles, tetra pack packaging, etc. The green bins are used for collecting kitchen and other plant or animal wastes.
