Rubbish And Waste Types

Waste is an unwanted waste material after the end of a process. Waste is defined by men according to the degree keterpakaiannya, in the processes of nature actually no concept of waste, only products produced after and during the natural process berlangsung.Akan but because human life is defined concept of environment can be divided according to the Trash type-type.

 Based on the source


1. Natural Trash

2. Human Waste

3. Trash consumption

4. Nuclear waste

5. Waste industry

6. Waste mining





Based on the nature


1. Organic waste - can be parsed (degradable)

2. Inorganic rubbish - do not decompose (undegradable)


Based on the shape


Trash is either solid or liquid material that is not used anymore and discarded. According to the waste form can be divided as:


Solid Waste


Solid waste is any waste material other than feces, urine and liquid waste. May include household waste: kitchen waste, garden waste, plastic, metal, glass and others. According to the waste material is classified into organic and inorganic waste. Organic waste is waste that comes from items that contain organic materials, such as the remains of vegetables, animals, paper, wood pieces of household equipment, pieces of twigs, grass at the time of cleaning the garden and so on.


Based on the ability broken down by nature (biodegradability), then it can be further divided into:


1. Biodegradable: ie waste that can be described perfectly by biological processes either aerobic or anaerobic, such as kitchen waste, animal remains, sewage farms and plantations.


2. Non-biodegradable: the rubbish that can not be explained by biological processes. Can be subdivided into:


o Recyclable: waste that can be processed and reused because it has economic value such as plastic, paper, clothes and others.

o Non-recyclable: junk that has no economic value and can not be prepared or amended return, such as tetra packs, carbon paper, thermo coal and others.


Liquid Waste


Waste liquid is a liquid material that has been used and not needed again and dumped into a landfill.


• black wastes: liquid waste generated from the toilet. Trash It contain dangerous pathogens.

• Domestic waste: liquid waste generated from the kitchen, bathroom and a laundry. This garbage may contain pathogens.


Trash can be in any phase of matter: solid, liquid, or gas. When released in two phases of the latter, especially gas, can be regarded as waste emissions. Commonly associated with pollution emissions.


In human life, large amounts of garbage coming from industrial activities (also known as waste), such as mining, manufacturing, and consumption. Almost all industrial products will become trash at a time, with the amount of waste which is roughly similar to the amount of consumption.to prevent liquid waste is not waste factories such carelessly throw into a ditch.


Natural Trash


Waste produced in integrated wildlife through natural recycling processes, like dead leaves in the forest breaks down into soil. Beyond the wild life, the garbage can be a problem, such as dead leaves in an urban environment.


Waste Consumption


Trash consumption is waste generated by the (human) users of the goods, in other words is the garbage dumped in the trash. This is a general waste of human thought. Nevertheless, the amount of waste this category is still far smaller than the waste generated from mining and industrial processes.


Radioactive waste


Nuclear waste is the result of nuclear fusion and nuclear fission of uranium and thorium that produce a very harmful for the environment hidupdan also human. Therefore, nuclear waste is stored in places that are not high-potential to perform activities of designated places are usually former salt mines or the sea (though rarely, but sometimes still do).
