2. METHODOLOGY
Because of differences in population, life-style and
economic level in cities, there is a different density in
household solid wastes.
I determined the quantity and composition of household
solid waste over 1week which were randomly collected
from my home.
These samples were segregated and sorted then
weighted in weighing machine and tabulated as well as
scripted the graph.
In this project, the household wastes were segregated into Biodegradable and Non-
Biodegradable where biodegradable wastes contain organics (peel of fruits and
vegetables, dry leaves and flowers) and papers and non-biodegradable wastes
contain plastics and glasses.
After segregation, the household wastes are disposed. The wastes are disposed in
Waste Landfill.
WASTE LANDFILL: Waste landfill site is also known
as a tip, dump, rubbish dump, garbage dump, or dumping
ground, is a site for the disposal of waste materials.
Landfill is the oldest and most common form of waste
disposal.

3. RESULT:
The weight of household waste are measured in weighing machine, first whole
household wastes and second segregated weight of both biodegradable and
non-biodegradable.
In my home there are 4 family member and waste are measured according to
that.
Later the values are tabulated and scripted the graphs.

4. DISCUSSION:
Sorting and segregation of biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes are
done at the household level. Segregation shall be conducted at the source, i.e.
house. The best way of managing household waste is to avoid then reduce and
if not possible, then we should try to reduce and recycle rather than disposing
either in waste landfill or open burning.
5. CONCLUSION:
From the above result, it was concluded that during the weighing of whole
household waste, the total weight of the waste was 2320 gram and during the
weighing of segregated wastes, the total weight of biodegrable wastes was
1820 gram and non-biodegrable waste was 500 gram. Thus it’s a good
indication that the biodegrable waste is more than non-biodegradable wastes.
It is a good step towards the sustainable growth of the society along with the
safety of environment.
The sorting and separation of household solid waste in houses is considered
as pre-waste management. The less weight of the household wastes, the more
safer the environment is. Every person should try to avoid the non-
biodegradable household waste. If it is not possible then person should try to
use those non-biodegradable waste which can be recycle or reused.
