Valuable recyclable material is mixed with wet waste and hence not usable. Less than 10 % is recovered.

Waste, if managed well, can come back to us in the form of something useful, like these chairs.

OR HELP TO BRING IT BACK AS A RESOURCE?

reduce, reuse, recycle, refuse, recover, repair, restore, reclaim

Kitchen waste is 60% water and will bio-degrade

But when mixed with plastic, batteries, medical waste, paper, bulbs etc

It ALL becomes toxic

Worse, paper, plastic etc become soggy and un-recyclable

It also Becomes TRASH: Dirty! Messy! Smelly!

Mixed Waste is BAD!
