Classification of solid waste:
COMPOSTABLE WASTES. Compostable wastes are biodegradable wastes such as food
waste, garden waste, animal waste and human waste. They undergo biological degradation
under controlled conditions and can be tumed into compost (soil conditioner or organic
Tertilizer) by mixing them with soil, water, air and biological additives/activators (optional)
B. RECYCLABLE WASTES. Recyclable materials refer to any waste material retrieved from the
waste stream and free from contamination that can still be converted into suitable beneficial
use. These may be transformed into new products in such a manner that the original products
may lose their identity
C. RESIDUAL WASTES. Residual wastes are solid waste materials that are non-compostable
and non-recyclable. It should be disposed ecologically through a long-term disposal facility
or sanitary landfill.
D. SPECIAL WASTES. Special wastes refer to household hazardous wastes.
