Non toxic wastes are wastes that do not pose a serious threat to the environment or animals if decomposed carefully. Some of the solid wastes are generated due to domestic activities such as food leftovers ,fruit and vegetable peelings, bits of paper and other rubbish often stored in dustbins .The waste produced by shops, offices, restaurants and schools do not pose a serious threat to the animals, plants or to the environment. Such wastes are called nontoxic wastes.
Toxic wastes are very harmful to the environment. They kill organisms, change the environment, create acid rain, and pollute water sources.

Most plants do not have solid wastes. Only those plants that eat insects have solid wastes. The venus fly trap and sundew let the rotted bodies of insects fly away in the wind when they open up. In the pitcher plant, the rotted bodies decompose in the bottom of the water trap. Plants that do not eat insects do not have any solid wastes to get rid of. They get their nutrients from the soil with their roots, they also take in water, and take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. They do not have solid wastes.
