Waste Generation and Management — Methods of Safe Disposal of Waste — Question 2

Precautions that should be observed while collecting the waste are:

1. Collection of waste must be organised area-wise by covered trucks, vans or rickshaws so as to prevent littering on the roads.
2. Day to day collection is very important to prevent spread of diseases contaminating and polluting the environment.
3. Building material, debris and demolition waste must be separately collected and disposed off appropriately.
