Waste segregation is always the first step in any type of waste management solution that can be implemented on an individual or community level. When waste is unsegregated, it can become contaminated as different types of waste are stored together. Such waste cannot be treated or managed and is frequently dumped in local dump yards or landfills. Waste segregation allows for the management of various types of waste. This directly reduces the amount of waste dumped at dump yards or landfills. #was
