Plastic dustbins, the unsung heroes of cleanliness go unnoticed, but play a crucial role in keeping public spaces clean and hygienic. Whether you’re at a public park, strolling down the street, shopping at your local market, or visiting a public building, you’ll spot one around every corner! Having them, however, does not guarantee a cleaner environment, there are rules that have to be followed like proper segregation,timely collection, etc . In this guide, we will learn how to properly and efficiently use plastic dustbins.
How to Use Plastic Dustbins Correctly
1. Use the Right Bin
Always be on the lookout for color coded bins. Green indicates organic wet waste, which decomposes easily while blue signifies recyclables and plastic/ non-biodegradable dry waste.
2. Be mindful of Overflowing Bins
In case a bin is filled up, do not add more rubbish into it. Look for another one or take your trash with you until a bin becomes available.
3. Report Issues
Immediately report a case of a damaged or overflowing bin to the local authorities. These are small things that help in making the environment better. Report a bin which is cracked or has loose lids. Broken bins leak waste and spread germs making the space unhygienic.
4. Spread Awareness
Sharing the do’s and don’ts of waste disposal and highlighting how proper waste management directly benefits our health can make a significant impact. By spreading awareness and encouraging responsible habits, we can all contribute to cleaner, healthier environments.
Mistakes to avoid
1. Never Burn Plastic Waste
Burning plastic waste should not be done as fumes damage the health and environment too. Always dispose properly.
2. Look for Clear Labels
Make sure you throw waste in bins that are clearly labeled so you can dispose of trash in the right place. Proper labels help keep everything organized and clean.
3. Avoid Seasonal Waste Overflow
Be extra mindful of where and how to dispose of the festive waste, for example don’t openly throw off the cracker waste on diwali since they have metallic residue. If bins are full, find another one or take your trash with you until one is available. Because your celebrations shouldn’t come at the cost of a being’s life.
