Explain the Classification of Solid Waste

 Solid waste can be classified in several different ways. 

• Putrescible waste - Animal and Vegetable waste From Cooking and
• preparing food
• Municipal solid waste- Known to the lay audience as garbage ( durable goods,
• yard trimmings, containers and packaging)
• The nature of the material may be important, so classification can be made on the
• basis of organic, inorganic, combustible, noncombustible, putrescible, and non-
• putrescible.
• The classification of solid waste is usually used for choosing the treatment,
• collection, recycling, and disposal options.
• The density of solid waste is the mass of solid waste per unit volume.
