Domestic wastes are collected in small bins, which are then transferred to community bins by private or municipal worker.
From these community bins , these are collected and carried to tht disposable site. At the site, garbage is sorted out and separated into biodegradable and non- biodegradable materials.
Non - boidegrable materials such as plastic, glass, metal scraps etc. are sent for recycling. Biodegradable wastes are deposited in land fills and are converted into conpost.
