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.
