Mastering Waste Segregation: Wet, Dry & Hazardous

Effective household segregation is the bedrock of clean cities. 1. **Green Bin (Wet Waste)**: Kitchen scraps, vegetable peelings, leftover food, tea leaves, fruit rinds, soiled paper towels, and garden sweepings. These decompose organically into nutrient-rich compost. 2. **Blue Bin (Dry Waste)**: Clean plastic containers, cardboard packaging, tetrapaks, aluminium cans, scrap paper, glass jars, and textile scraps. Keep them rinse-clean and dry. 3. **Red Bin (Hazardous & Sanitary)**: Diapers, menstrual sanitary napkins, syringes, unused medicines, broken glass shards, chemical containers, and batteries. Wrap safely before disposal.
