Importance of Segregation
Segregation is a key aspect of domestic waste management. Proper segregation helps in separating different types of waste for efficient recycling and disposal. It reduces the burden on landfill sites and allows for the recovery of valuable resources.	Image Source

Recycling and Composting
Recycling involves converting waste materials into new products to conserve resources. Composting is the process of decomposing organic waste to produce nutrient-rich compost for gardening and agriculture. Encouraging recycling and composting at the household level can significantly reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills.	Image Source

Waste Reduction Strategies
Waste reduction strategies include reducing consumption, reusing items, and minimizing packaging. Adopting a "zero waste" mindset can help households reduce their overall waste generation. By choosing durable products, repairing instead of replacing, and using reusable containers, individuals can make a significant impact.	Image Source

Waste Collection and Segregation at Source
Waste collection services should be provided regularly to ensure timely disposal. Source segregation at the household level should be encouraged to simplify waste management processes. Properly labeled and color-coded bins can aid in the segregation of different types of waste.	Image Source

Waste Treatment Methods
Waste treatment methods include incineration, landfilling, and biological treatment. Incineration involves burning waste at high temperatures to produce energy. Landfilling is the most common method but should be used as a last resort due to environmental concerns.	Image Source
