36 Handout A INTRODUCTION: WHAT IS WASTE? 2009 Torrance Adult School, Images from office.microsoft..com WASTE is unwanted materials or substances that are left after you have used something. There are three main types of waste: TRASH These are things that you throw away, such as food that has gone bad or disposable diapers. Trash cannot be recycled. RECYCLABLES These are items that can be made into something else that is usable. Many paper, plastic, glass and metal products can be recycled. HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE These are items you no longer want, but may have dangerous chemicals in them. You cannot throw them away or recycle them. 36 1/23/2012

37 INTRODUCTION: WHERE DOES WASTE GO? 2009, Torrance Adult School, Images from office.microsoft.com It is always best to prevent waste if at all possible. If you must create waste, these are the options for disposal: LANDFILL A place where waste is buried under the ground. Some items in the trash are biodegradable and will break down over time. Other items (such as diapers) are not, and may take hundreds of years to break down. HAZARDOUS WASTE CENTER A location that accepts hazardous waste and electronics, including automotive items, paint, batteries, computers and TVs. CURSIDE RECYCLING OR RECYCLING CENTER Along with your garbage, your city may also recycling that you place in a separate bin. If not, you can separate your recycling items, then take them to a recycling center. You can even earn money for items you bring to a recycling center! 37 1/23/2012
