Question

What do we do to the useful components (biodegradable) of the garbage?

Answer 1

Hint: In the environment we live in, waste disposing is of great concern. Earlier people did not distinguish between dry wastes and wet wastes. Dry wastes include paper, polythene covers, wrappers and rest stuff which were not in a wet condition. Wet wastes include all the kitchen wastes and food items or the leftover food. Garbage decomposition is the next hazardous thing human beings will be facing, if a solution is not being discussed.

Complete answer:
Biodegradable wastes are the wastes which are decomposable in nature or in soil. Biodegradable wastes can be used by the plants for nutrients. Earthworms are known to be converting the Bio-degradable wastes into soil rich nutrients which are taken by plants to fulfill their needs. The useful components of garbage are used in land filling. Biodegradable wastes include the useful components which are tree leaves, food items, paper, kitchen wastes, fruit peels, vegetable peels etc.
The use of garbage or Biodegradable wastes is known as recycling. Recycling is a process where these wastes undergo a composting process and new items or useful items being made out of it. The decaying process of Biodegradable wastes is known as composting. Composting is done by several micro-organisms which takes time.
The time period can last from months to years depending on what they are composting. The process of composting is easy though, the Bio-degradable wastes first being dumped in soil, inside a medium pit not much high or low then, after waiting for days the wastes have changed their color and turned into black soil. After the decomposition period is over the black powder is ready to use.

Note:
As we discussed how the Bio-degradable wastes are being used and the processing is done, let us discuss some examples such as it is one of the best and natural sources of fertilizer. It is a chemical free and cheap fertilizer for crops. Eco-friendly and environment friendly. Plants get lots of benefits when the wastes are turned into manure. Farmers can easily make the Bio-degradable wastes into a manure, which is cost friendly and easy to use.
