[1]  HOUSEHOLD WASTE

 

 

[2]  Household waste is waste which is generated in the day to day operations of a
[3]  household. It can include everything from lawn clippings to burned out light bulbs.
[4]  Many movements designed to get people thinking about environmentally friendly
[5]  living have focused on household waste as something which can be easily
[6]  manipulated to make a difference in the environment. Management of household
[7]  waste is also a major issue, and it has been for hundreds of years.

 

[8]  A busy household can generate a great deal of waste, and the amount of household
[9]  waste can increase radically in developed nations which rely heavily on packaging
[10]  for a wide variety of products. Historically, people disposed of their household
[11]  waste by burying or burning it, but these methods became impractical once human
[12]  populations started exploding, resulting in the development of land fills, disposal
[13]  sites where collected waste from a large area is buried.

 

[14]  One of the issues with household waste is that not all of it is, in fact, waste, and people can radically reduce the
[15]  amount of stuff which gets thrown away by thinking before tossing something in the garbage. Many communities
[16]  have recycling programs which accept paper, glass, bottles, cans, and numerous other items which can be broken
[17]  down and reused. Other things considered “waste” may be useful to others, such as outmoded couches which get
[18]  tossed to the curb instead of being donated to organizations which could sell or use the furniture.

 

[19]  People are sometimes surprised when they start keeping track of the amount of waste they really generate. Even
[20]  people who think that they have a comparatively small amount of garbage can find that they create a lot of waste.
[21]  Logging household waste by weighing or charting it for several months can sometimes be an eye opening experience
[22]  and an interesting science fair project.
