General waste refers to the everyday items that cannot be recycled or composted. This type of waste typically includes materials like food wrappers, broken furniture, and non-recyclable plastics. It is usually collected by local waste management services and taken to landfills for disposal. Proper management of general waste is important to reduce environmental impact. When general waste is not disposed of correctly, it can lead to pollution and harm wildlife. Communities often implement programs to encourage recycling and reduce the amount of general waste generated, promoting a cleaner and more sustainable environment.
