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.
