Households generate a diverse array of waste materials, including organic waste like food scraps and peels, paper and cardboard from packaging and printed materials, various types of plastics used in packaging and containers, glass bottles and jars, metals such as aluminum and steel cans, discarded textiles and clothing, electronic waste (e-waste) from old gadgets, and hazardous waste like batteries and certain cleaning products. These materials represent common household waste streams. Sustainable waste management practices involve reducing waste generation through mindful consumption, promoting recycling initiatives, composting organic matter, and properly disposing of hazardous materials. Increasing public awareness and participation in recycling programs and adopting eco-friendly habits are vital steps toward minimizing the environmental impact of household waste.
