General waste refers to everyday items that cannot be recycled or composted. This type of waste typically includes materials like food wrappers, broken toys, and non-recyclable plastics. It is collected by local waste management services and sent to landfills or incinerators for disposal. Proper disposal of general waste is important to reduce environmental impact. When general waste is not managed correctly, it can lead to pollution and harm wildlife. Communities often implement waste reduction programs to encourage recycling and composting, helping to minimize the amount of general waste produced.
