CBSE Class 10 Science 2017 · Paper 31/3/C · Question 6
How can you help in reducing the problem of waste disposal ? Write any two methods.
Answer
Segregate waste at home and compost the biodegradable part; reduce non-biodegradable materials by using cloth or jute bags instead of polythene.
Any two of the following:
1. Segregate waste at home: put biodegradable waste (kitchen waste, peels, leaves) and non-biodegradable waste (plastic, glass, metal) in separate dustbins, and turn the biodegradable part into manure by composting.
2. Reduce the use of non-biodegradable materials: carry a cloth or jute bag instead of using polythene bags, and avoid disposable plastic articles.
3. Reuse and recycle: use articles such as bottles, jars and paper again, and send paper, glass, metal and plastic for recycling.
