    Identify Different Types of

    waste
    Introduction:

    Generally, waste could be liquid or


    solid waste. Both of them could be
    hazardous. Liquid and solid waste
    types can also be grouped into
    organic, re-usable and recyclable
    waste. 
    Different types of Wastes:
    1. Liquid type:
    Waste can come in non-solid form. Some
    solid waste can also be converted to a liquid
    waste form for disposal. It includes point
    source and non-point source discharges such
    as storm water and wastewater. Examples of
    liquid waste include wash water from
    homes, liquids used for cleaning in
    industries and waste detergents.
    2. Solid type:

    Solid waste predominantly, is any


    garbage, refuse or rubbish that we make
    in our homes and other places. These
    include old car tires, old newspapers,
    broken furniture and even food waste.
    They may include any waste that is non-
    liquid.
    3. Hazardous type:
    Hazardous or harmful waste are those that
    potentially threaten public health or the
    environment. Such waste could be flammable (can
    easily catch fire), reactive (can easily
    explode), corrosive (can easily eat through metal)
    or toxic(poisonous to human and animals). In many
    countries, it is required by law to involve the
    appropriate authority to supervise the disposal of
    such hazardous waste. Examples include fire
    extinguishers, old propane tanks, pesticides,
    mercury-containing equipment (e.g, thermostats) and
    lamps (e.g. fluorescent bulbs) and batteries. 
    What are the types of harmful – hazardous wastes?

    Ignitable (flammable): If this


    waste item easily catch fire, burst
    into flames, irritate eyes, skin or
    breathing. Examples include
    varnish, paints or polish.
    Give other examples
    What are the types of harmful – hazardous wastes?

    Reactive: If this waste item can chemically


    react with another substance to explode or
    give of dangerous vapors.
    An example include Ammonia, which can
    read with Chlorine bleach to produce a
    harmful gas.
    Give other examples
    What are the types of harmful – hazardous wastes?

    Toxic: If the waste item is


    poisonous to humans and other
    living things. Many pesticides and
    household cleaning chemicals fall
    in this class. 
    Give other examples
    What are the types of harmful – hazardous wastes?

    Corrosive: These waste items are


    acidic in nature and can erode other
    materials. Corrosive waste can eat
    through metal, or cause severe burns
    and skin complications if they get
    into contact with skins.
    Give other examples
    4. Organic type:
    organic waste garbage
    Organic waste comes from plants or
    animals sources. Commonly, they
    include food waste, fruit and
    vegetable peels, flower trimmings
    and even dog poop can be classified
    as organic waste.
    4. Organic type:
    They are biodegradable (this means
    they are easily broken down by other
    organisms over time and turned into
    manure).
    Many people turn their organic waste
    into compost and use them in their
    gardens.
    5. Recyclable type:
    Recycling is processing used
    materials (waste) into new, useful
    products. This is done to reduce
    the use of raw materials that
    would have been used. Waste that
    can be potentially recycled is
    termed "Recyclable waste".
    5. Recyclable type:
    Aluminum products (like soda, milk
    and tomato cans), Plastics (grocery
    shopping bags, plastic bottles), Glass
    products (like wine and beer bottles,
    broken glass), Paper products (used
    envelopes, newspapers and magazines,
    cardboard boxes) can be recycled and
    fall into this category.
