How you dispose off the garbage from home/ kitchen?

I worked with the municipality to arrange for house to house garbage removal which is now in operation but I need my garbage specially the wet garbage from which I produce compost. I have built an incinerator for the dry stuff and that ash I use again as fertilizer. The solid waste I have sometimes used as filler material for foundations to put up garden seats and other stuff in my garden.

dear sis, I live in metro city where there were garbage truck that collects our garbage everyday. The schedule time is at night time. All we need to do is sealed the plastic bags and put it in one place where the garbage truck will going to pick the garbage. There are also some utilities who are knocking at doors early in the morning to collect the garbage. My kids always separate those recyclable materials,and bring to junk shops for some money,like tin cans,used paper,magazines,notebooks,books and the likes,plastic containers and a lot more. have a good day sis

Yes, our government has a dispose company which is called DBKL. They are responsible to collect rubbish everyday. But sometimes they also late for coming and dissappear for few days. I guess I can't complain much because it is free of service.

Hi Sree! We use small bin in the kitchen and then put it in the big bin at the garage! The bin get pick-up once a week and the recycle bin get pick-up every second week of the month.

Here in Tiruppur(the place where I am living - Tamilnadu) everyday, a person(who as allotted by government) will come and collect those garbage from every home. For each and every ward, there will be one person who is responsible for collecting those garbage. so, we have no problem, early morning by 7 - 8 am he'll come and give a big bell, then we will dispose them off.

Black soldier flies are great waste disposal systems and they keep other pesky flies away. They have no mouth parts as flies and they only live a few days. http://www.grist.org/article/black-fly-magic http://www.thebiopod.com/

Hi Sree, the town council garbage truck will come and collect our garbage in plastic bags placed outside the gate from house to house twice in a week on time most of the time but not all the time We usually would get the garbage placed nicely the night before, for we don't want to miss the truck. If placing them in the morning we have to get them ready before 8am as the truck will come around that moment. If we miss the truck, we have to keep the garbage for another two or three days. My husband can't endure to wait for the next coming turn and will dispose the wastes himself. There is a huge garbage trolley somewhere at the nearby wet market. So it's still convenient for him to do so. It's really irritating that the garbage are found spreading awfully the next morning most of the time as these are the "masterpiece" done by the disgusting stray dogs To prevent such undesired situation to happen garbage in plastic bags seen hanging on gate, fence as well as roadside lamppost. Looks really indecent and unique eh...anyway it's better than nasty wastes are spreading here and there, some even worse with nauseous smell. Last time, about a year ago still could see two old women and a man searching for recycling stuffs from the garbage. People hated most to see one of the women never restored the garbage after her collection and she was scolded often for her irresponsibility. Here there are usually three workers, not including the driver in their uniform tshirt to do the garbage disposal. The situation was same as yours before that the truck never came on time especially there was any public holiday fell on the garbage disposal day. This had improved after lots of complains were made. I hope group complain from the affected residents in your place on the person for his inefficient and unsatisfactory performance could help in improving the waste disposal. Take care dear and happy posting

I use a trash can in the house with a trash bag in it. When it gets full, I take it outside to the bigger trash can and set it out to the curb for trash pickup.

Hi Sree! We also follow more or less the same method. A person comes early in the morning and collects garbarge from our dustbins. He takes a weekly off, which is appropriate. I fully agree with you that if he does not turn up for 3-4 days, pile of garbage and fully loaded dustbins create problems for us. Sometimes, I myself go and carry the garbage in large plastic bag and dispose it off at bigger garbage dumps, maintained by MCD. We just cannot avoid garbage to pile up, we are in the habit of throwing so many things in the dustbins and they are required to be disposed of/cleaned at a regular basis, else it can give rise to diseases.

hmmm...we too have the same way..to collect whole day's waste in a bin and then throw it outside ...from where the municipal corporation people collect it..the servant who comes to sweep and mop at my place does that work...but yes...she also goes absent for some days....then it becomes the problem..kids have to do it...they don't like doing that work...also they feel ashamed ...but then my son does it..though he is only 8 yrs...

I try to recycle things when I can, but I live in a rural area, and recycling centers are not easy to find here. I sell metal food cans, and aluminum foils at a scrap metal place, but it is hard to find places near where I live to take things such as newspapers and plastic or glass containers. As for what little food waste we have, the scraps go outside to the dog and cat. They usually eat the scraps up fairly quickly. A compost bin in a good way to get rid of food scraps as well. I know people here who do that, and they use the compost for gardening. Recycling is a good way to reduce wastes as well.

hi dear.. in my home we used to keep in separate bins..one in kitchen one in the room ...i use a plastic cover to take the garbage...if i do like this i can avoid the too much cleaning of that bin...daily we will keep outside of our home..garbage collector will come at 10 am and collect it.. he didnt come last week 4 days...could not manage that time..realy hard...we can argue with anyone ...but we should response and we can not argue like these persons...if they ignore us..it is difficulty to manage...

Sree beti When we had our old house, we had a garden on the back side, we had a compost pit there, all we used to dump there, this we used as manure in our veg garden, but this new one is big, no space left, we are supposed to keep the garbage in a polythene bag on the street in front this home, and the municipality sweeper is supposed to take it, but they are irregular, complant to health officer has no effect at all, the dogs scatter them on road.. So i have also employed one sweeper for 150 per month, he is supposed to collet from home and dump else where.. But he comes 20 days a month, at time drunk.. I am better these days, thanks for your care, i see my daughter in you.. Have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘@Bhuwan@’. .

Hi sreekala, how are you? Yes we are also paying to the person on monthly basis who will collect the garbage daily. But you know in village what they are doing is good even they are recycling the garbage and using for garden etc., actually this is nice thing rather throwing somewhere. In my place they do collect all the leaves which fall down from the trees and they burn, you know kala doing like this is somewhat good for the people and the environment because everyone knows leaves inhales carbon dioxide and leaves oxygen so when we burn the leaves we get oxygen, that is why most of the village people will burn the waste leaves. Even i do when early morning when i get up i see lot of leaves on the floor outside the house (especially in this season), all those i will sweep and burn, so that it will be cleaned as well as we get oxygen too.

Yeah i know it is difficult to dispose off the garbage. In India we have depend on other who came and dispose off our garbage and when he bunks it become real difficult. But here in north America we collect garbage in black and green plastic cover and on particular morning keep in front of house and government truck comes and takes it away. But if we have more and if we want, infact we can take our garbage to garbage collection area which is not far away and we can dispose off. It is not a big issue. Here if you want to do, no one mind and no one care. It is your own work. But in India people laugh on you if you dont hire garbage collector.

In our Society too we have a boy coming to collect the garbage everday. And he too disappears very often. Since there is no one in my house the whole day the garbage cannot be kept for him. We have a big garbage can kept behind the building. So I put the waste in that can everyday. It makes clearing the garbage much easier for me that way. I dont have to keep the dustbin at the door waiting for the boy to come and collect it.

I have a garbage collection service that comes once per week to pick up my garbage. Another truck picks up recyclable materials. I don't throw out much garbage, it is mostly non-food items. There is nothing in my house that goes uneaten! If I eat chicken and there are bones, I make broth. Anything I don't eat is put in the freezer to be made into soup or stew at a later date. I don't even have vegetable peelings because I leave them on as most of the nutrition is in the skins. I don't throw away items I don't want, either. I find a way to use them differently or I give them away to someone who needs them. Sometimes I don't even put the garbage can out on the curb because I only have half a bag full.

I remember when I was young.. dispose garbage in the compost pit too. But now that the population has swollen, there seems to be no more vacant lot to dig compost pit. Now in the village where I stay, there is a garbage track that comes every day to collect garbage. We don't pay anything. This is just part of the amenities of being a homeowner in that village. Our left-over foods are always separated for my dogs and doves so I need not worry how to dispose them. Have a nice day!

Hi! Sreekala, As Wongchoiyee said, we have the government appointed company to collect the rubbish right up to our door 2 to 3 times a week. But we have to prepare or buy our own rubbish bin and have to pack our rubbish in a plastic bag, or else they will not collect the rubbish from our rubbish bin. I do know people who stay in village have to burn their rubbish because their rubbish do not collect by the government appointed company. And later, there are new rules that we have to make sure we separate our rubbish into a few items like glass, plastic or paper so that easy for them to recycle. But I don't think people will really do it or throw their rubbish that way because most of us here will actually separate it and sell those salable and recyclable rubbish to the recycle collector. Although that is not much but at least we can save some money for other things.

We have garbage service here. They take a large can of garbage for us, and another can of recycle. They are very reliable. It isn't just an individual, it's a large waste company that everyone in the neighborhood uses. I do like the idea of composting, but just have never done it. Our neighbors are really close and the smell might bother them. Also there may be a rule about it where I live. I haven't checked that out.
