Types of Waste

All waste on earth falls into five categories. These are:

1. Liquid Waste

• Liquid waste includes dirty water, wash water, organic liquids, waste detergents and sometimes rainwater. This waste is usually found in households, businesses, and industries.Depending on its source, liquid waste can be classified as either point or non-point source waste. Point source wastewater refers to all manufactured liquid waste. Natural liquid waste, on the other hand, is classified as non-point source waste.

2. Solid Rubbish

• Solid rubbish includes a large variety of items that may be found in households or commercial locations. To understand this type of waste better, let’s break it down into five categories:
• Plastic Waste –consists of bags, containers, jars, bottles made of plastic.
• Paper/Card Waste – includes newspapers, packaging materials, cardboard, etc.
• Tins and Metals – can be found in different forms throughout your home or business
• Ceramics and Glass – consist of broken ceramic cups and plates, glass bottles, etc.

3. Organic Waste

• Organic waste is also common in almost all households. This waste consists of food waste, garden waste, and so on. While this waste is broken down by micro-organisms over time, it still needs to be appropriately disposed of when generated.

4. Recyclable Rubbish

• As the name suggests, recyclable rubbish refers to all waste that can be converted to reusable products. A significant percentage of items in construction waste such as masonry, metal, paper, and furniture can be recycled.

5. Hazardous Waste

• Hazard waste refers to any waste that’s toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive. Such waste can be harmful to both you and the environment. Examples of hazardous waste include toxic chemicals and electronic rubbish.
