    and trash.

    3 Transportation
    Sorted waste is transported to various destinations,
    such as landfills, recycling facilities, or composting
    sites.
    Recycling and Reuse

    Anaerobic digestion breaks down organic waste in the
    absence of oxygen, producing biogas and compost. It is a
    sustainable and environmentally friendly option.
    Waste Reduction Strategies

    Consuming less helps reduce waste generation in the first place. This
    involves buying less, using durable products, and minimizing single-use
    items.

    Reuse and Repurpose


    Giving items a second life extends their lifespan and reduces the need for
    new products. Creative reuse can turn old objects into something new and
    useful.

    Recycle Properly
    Properly sorting and recycling waste materials ensures they are processed
    effectively and diverted from landfills.

    Compost Food Waste


    Composting food scraps and yard waste reduces landfill volume and creates
    valuable soil amendment for gardens and landscaping.
    Environmental Impact of Waste
    Air Pollution Burning waste, such as in incineration,
    releases harmful pollutants into the
    atmosphere, contributing to smog and
    respiratory problems.
    Water Pollution Waste disposed of improperly can
    contaminate groundwater and surface
    water, harming aquatic life and human
    health.
    Land Contamination Landfills can leak hazardous
    substances, contaminating soil and
    water resources. Improper waste
    disposal can also create unsightly and
    hazardous dumps.
    Climate Change Landfills generate methane, a potent
    greenhouse gas, contributing to global
    warming. Waste reduction and
    recycling can mitigate these effects.
    IDEATE
    A HUB where waste is collected from local areas and dumped.
    The system process the waste and Segregates it.
    It includes multiple chambers for different waste like wet or
    domestic waste and plastic Waste.
    This HUB will be containing two disposal units one for all solid
    waste and other one for e-waste.
