TOPIC: HOUSEHOLD UNITS USING WATER.
1. What are household units using water
o Household units using water refer to the various fixtures, appliances, and systems within
a household that consume water for their operation. These units play a crucial role in
meeting the daily water needs of a household, including for activities such as cleaning,
cooking, bathing, and maintaining the home. Examples of household units using water
include toilets, sinks, showers, bathtubs, washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters,
irrigation systems, faucets, garbage disposals, pools, and hot tubs.
To keep rubbish and dustbins clean and hygienic, it's essential to understand the differences
between them and follow proper maintenance practices.
Rubbish:
Rubbish refers to waste materials or garbage that are discarded or thrown away. It can
include various types of waste, such as paper, plastic, glass, metal, food scraps, and other
household waste.
Dustbin:
A dustbin, also known as a trash can or garbage bin, is a container used to collect and store
rubbish. Dustbins are commonly found in homes, offices, public places, and other
establishments. They come in various sizes and designs, ranging from small bins for
household waste to large bins for commercial or industrial waste.
To keep rubbish and dustbins clean and hygienic, follow these steps:
Regular Cleaning: Clean the dustbin regularly by removing any accumulated rubbish and
wiping it down with a disinfectant or soap and water. Make sure to wear gloves while
cleaning to protect your hands from germs.
1. Proper Disposal: Dispose of rubbish in the dustbin promptly. Avoid overfilling the bin, as
it can lead to spills and attract pests. Regularly empty the dustbin and take the rubbish
to the appropriate disposal facility.
2. Segregation of Waste: If possible, separate recyclable waste from non-recyclable waste
and dispose of them in separate bins. This helps in reducing waste and promoting
recycling.
2. Covering the Dustbin: Keep the dustbin covered when not in use to prevent pests from
entering and to reduce odors. Some dustbins come with lids or covers that can be used
for this purpose.
3. 5. Proper Storage: Store the dustbin in a convenient location, but away from direct
sunlight and heat sources. This helps in maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the
dustbin.
By following these steps, you can keep rubbish and dustbins clean, hygienic, and free from
unpleasant odors.
Methods of waste disposal.
1. Preventing or Reducing Waste Generation: This method involves implementing strategies to
minimize the amount of waste produced in the first place. It includes practices such as reducing
consumption, reusing items, and choosing products with minimal packaging.
2. Recycling: Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new products. It
involves collecting, sorting, and processing materials such as paper, plastic, glass, and metal to
create new products. Recycling helps in reducing the demand for raw materials, conserving
energy, and minimizing waste sent to landfills.
3. Incineration: Incineration is a waste disposal method that involves burning waste materials at
high temperatures in a controlled environment. The heat generated from the process can be
used to produce energy. Incineration reduces the volume of waste and generates energy, but it
also produces emissions that need to be managed properly.
4. Composting:Composting is a natural process that converts organic waste, such as food scraps
and yard waste, into nutrient-rich soil known as compost. Composting reduces the amount of
organic waste sent to landfills and produces a valuable soil amendment for gardening and
landscaping.
5. Sanitary Landfill: A sanitary landfill is a method of disposing of waste in a designated area
that is lined and covered to prevent contamination of the surrounding soil and groundwater.
Waste is buried in layers, and the site is designed to minimize odors, pests, and environmental
impact. Sanitary landfills are a common method of waste disposal, but they have limited
capacity and can pose environmental concerns if not managed properly.
6. Disposal in the Ocean: Disposal in the ocean involves dumping waste directly into the sea.
This method is controversial and raises environmental concerns, as it can harm marine life,
pollute waterways, and disrupt ecosystems. Ocean disposal is generally discouraged and
regulated by international agreements and laws.
