    Over one week, 79 items of trash were collected from two school bins, totaling 395 items. The most common items were plastic wrappers at 23, followed by apple cores at 17. Over one month, the total items collected would be approximately 1580. Separating rubbish into organic and inorganic waste could reduce landfill waste by nearly 50%. It is recommended to create separate bins for organic and inorganic waste, and compost the organic materials.

    Notes about the graph:
    400
    The graph shows us that rubbish can be separated in to two 350
    groups of Organic waste and Inoganic waste. It would see a
    near 50 percent reduction in landfill waste. 300

    250
    From this, it would be recommended as a starting point to
    create bins for both types of waste. Then, for all organic 200
    waste be collected and placed into school composte.
