Ways To Maintain Community Hygiene
Ways To Maintain Community Hygiene
Some health measures can be taken care only by the community as a whole.
The practice of keeping our surrounding clean is called community hygiene.
The wet waste such as fruit and vegetable peels, coconut shells, stale
food, etc. goes into the green dustbin. Recyclable dry waste such as
plastic bottles, paper, wrappers of chips and chocolates, etc. goes
into the yellow dustbin. Non- recyclable dry waste such as empty
medicine bottles, injections, sanitary napkins, diapers, etc. goes into
the red dustbin.
We put the dustbins outside our houses in the morning. The workers
of our society collect the waste in a big green trolley with different
segments for each type of waste. The wet waste is collected to form
compost and the dry waste is recycled. The workers wear gloves to
prevent any infections from entering their body.
Composting
Composting is the biological decomposition of organic waste such as
food or plant material by bacteria, fungi, worms and other
organisms. Composting makes the soil richer and more fertile. It is
very easy to do and works as manure for plants. This method is used
in many houses and societies.
Composting in my Society
We use organic waste converter machine in our society to turn large
amount of organic waste such as kitchen and garden waste into
compost. The waste management system in our society is designed
in such a way that it removes the problem of irritants such as flies
and rats.
Process
1. Wet and organic waste is segregated from the rest of the
waste.
2. It is feeded in the OWC along with some saw dust.
3. In 15 minutes, the machine processes the waste.
4. It is then placed into the curing system. In 10 to 20 days, the
compost is ready for being used in our kitchen gardens and
common area gardens.
