HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE

As explained earlier, household garbage is waste generated from our daily activities in our home. Everyday, millions of household produces lots of waste through used products. The materials are toxic and damages the environment greatly.

The information below was part of an article;

"The garbage situation has become a big concern in cities all around the country and not only is this a political issue, but it is also a problem that has caught the attention of the general population. We all realize there is a growing problem but nobody likes to admit that their garbage is contributing to the problem."

Many municipalities have already started a recycling program to deal with the growing mountains of paper, plastic, glass, etc. Although it takes a bit of effort on the part of the public to sort and separate their garbage, people are now beginning to realize that the future of our environment is at stake.

One household product that is causing a problem these days is throwaway batteries. Each year, Americans throw away 84.000 tons of alkaline batteries. These AA, C and D cells that power electronic toys and games, portable audio equipment and a widerange of other gadgets comprise 20% of the household hazardous materials present around the country in America's landfills."

Basically, after using up a product, people tend to just throw it away without the care to think where will it go or what happens to it. The only thing that came to our mind was buying a new one to replace the old used product and that is how the process repeats itself.
