Waste segregation means division of waste into dry and wet waste. Dry waste includes paper, cardboard, glass, tin cans etc. Wet waste, on the other hand, refers to organic wastes such as vegetable peels, left-over food etc.Waste can also be segregated on basis of biodegradable or non-biodegradable waste.i am making sure that my own household is strictly following the 3Rs at home.that's means we recycle, reduce and reuse stuffs at home. infact we have separate waste cans for this specific wastes.it just make me mad since we spent effort on the segregation but the trash truck drivers aren't following it.instead, they pour everything in one bin and the wastes are again mixed together.this is so insensible!

Indeed, it does seem that even if you do separate things into such separate cans, it really does not matter in the end. It is just going to end just all in one place anyway. That is why that it is a fool's errand to really bother with just spending the time. Just dump it and they'll just dump it regardless. It really doesn't matter in the end.
Then again, I don't really think most garbage truck drivers really care. They are going to get their paycheck either way they do things, if they leave them separate or really dump them together. Then again, I doubt many average people do know that they should do such a thing. One would think that would be in the training for garbage truck drivers but either it isn't or they simply do not care.

everyone is experiencing climate change yet they just don't care to act on how to help lessen the problem. segregating wastes is just a small errand that can help solve a gigantic problem yet they just don't seem to care.instead, burn all stuffs and just don't care either way.
