What Does Three Coloured Dustbins Mean & Why India Badly Needs It?

Everyone in this nation knows that apart from the population, proper garbage dumping is the major problem in the country. Most of the environmental, health and mental problems occur because of this. So, there is a great need to educate people on how to separate domestic rubbish. It needs to be made clear that you cannot put leftover food and a fused bulb in the same trash container. Separating dry trash from wet trash is just as crucial. We must each be accountable for our own trash and recycle as much as we can.

This is all we need to know about the color-coded bins:

1. Green-bin

Biodegradable garbage is disposed of in the green bin. Wet and organic waste, such as cooked and leftover food, vegetable and fruit peels, eggshells and rotten eggs, chicken and fish bones, tea bags and coffee grounds, coconut shells, and yard waste such as fallen leaves and twigs, as well as puja flowers and garlands, can all be disposed of in this bin.

2. Blue-bin

For separating dry or recyclable leftovers, use the blue bin. The white container must be used for paper garbage, which includes magazines, newspapers, tetra packs, cardboard cartons, pizza boxes, and paper cups and plates. This category also contains debris such as plastic covers, bottles, boxes, cups, toffee wrappers, soap wrappers, and chocolate wrappers. Metal waste includes tins, cans, foil, paper, and containers as well as dry waste such as old mops, dusters, sponges, hair, rubber, and thermocol (polystyrene).

3. Black-bin

The third category, the black bin, is used for household hazardous garbage, which includes items like sanitary napkins, diapers, knives, bandages, CFLs, tube lights, printer cartridges, broken thermometers, batteries, button cells, and expired medications.
