Waste Management

Waste management is a branch of environmental science that deals with the huge amount of waste that is constantly generated in the world. It suggests destroying only the unusable and harmful waste for humans and the environment which is very small compared to the total generated waste. Then it recommends recycling most of the remaining waste by dividing that into metals, plastics, glass, paper, and organic. The management also includes awareness of recycling by encouraging the public to separate waste at its source during disposal into different types of recycling bins. It is very important to acquire this skill because waste is polluting the soil, water, and air, not only in Bangladesh but the whole world, devastating public life and the environment.
