Red or Orange coloured Bins are used for collection of "harmful wastes" like used battery, used light bulbs, used electronics equipments, used/expired medicines, used aerosol cans, used compressed gas bottles, used paint cans or paint brushes etc.

Is garbage in a garbage can a solution or mechanicl mixture?

Garbage in a garbage can is considered a mechanical mixture. This is because it consists of various waste materials that are physically combined but not chemically bonded, allowing the individual components to retain their properties. The different types of waste can often be separated and identified, which is characteristic of a mechanical mixture.


Why to segrate the garbage?

Segregating garbage is crucial for effective waste management and environmental protection. By separating recyclables, organic waste, and non-recyclables, we can reduce landfill waste, conserve natural resources, and minimize pollution. This practice also facilitates recycling processes, ensuring that materials are repurposed rather than discarded. Ultimately, garbage segregation promotes sustainability and encourages responsible consumption.
