Waste management is a sustainable practice that results in multiple benefits in the long run. An important aspect of this practice is to identify wet and dry waste, so trash removal services can process each accordingly. It is crucial to take responsibility for our environment and dispose of our waste in designated bins.

This blog discusses the difference between wet and dry waste and how segregation helps the decomposition of toxic waste.

What Is Dry Waste?

Dry waste is disposed material that does not decay. It lacks organic matter and is non-biodegradable. Commonly, the following materials are classified as dry waste:

• Metal
• Wood
• Cardboard
• Plastic
• Glass
• Textiles

Soiled packaging and materials must not be considered dry waste, even if the material itself is dry. Experts suggest that consumers rinse or wipe off their dry waste before discarding it. For instance, while your takeout pizza box may not be wet, wiping it to get rid of leftover sauces reduces the stench of rotting food particles and keeps insects away.

When dealing with waste such as sanitary napkins, nails, or hair, wrap them on paper and mark them with a cross because they are not biodegradable and need to be treated separately.

What is Wet Waste?

Wet waste, on the other hand, largely consists of garden produce leftovers and biodegradable kitchen waste. This includes vegetable peels, fruits, used tea, and other materials with organic matter that can be composted and reused for their mineral richness. Wet waste can decay on its own and hence, adds richness to the soil when disposed of.

Segregating wet and dry waste is simple and beneficial for the environment. People can easily segregate their waste before putting it out of their houses, which makes the process simple for junk removal and services.
