 FOR PROPER DISPOSAL OF MATERIALS:
 Separate wet from dry garbage
 Recyclable materials such as tin cans, newspapers,
plastic bags and bottles should be placed in separate
containers
 Label expire medicines and corrosives before putting
them in the garbage.
 Reducing, recycling and reusing materials help lessen
pollution in our environment.
When a material can no longer be used
after it has served its purpose it
is considered as waste.

There are five ways of waste management.

This is called the 5R’s technique.
Waste management is the collection,
transportation and disposal of and other
waste products. It encompasses
management of all processes and
resources for proper handling of waste
materials.

3. Recycle means creating a new product out of
a material that already served its purpose.
