RECYCLING RubbishAT HoME

 

Rubbish segregation is very actual Topic not only because to introduce rules of Law, but also TO grow interest IN ecology, the environment and the recycling. Public campaigns, debates, ecological movements, changes in the industry and the design, that all is leading to the redefinition and the revolution in the society of consumerism. Since the segregation appeared in our houses, it is worthwhile getting acquainted with certain principles which are concerned with it in order to do it effectively and correctly

The real segregation of wastes should embrance :

Organic wastes Paper Wastes of plastic aluminium, Transparent glass Colour glassware Remaining wastes

Additionally we should remember about separate collecting of:

the battery and batteries electronic equipment and home appliances

Dangerous waste, i.e. batteries, fluorescent lamps or the RTV/AGD equipment worn out must be thrown into containers specially prepared for that purpose. In shops you can free of charge leave this waste.

Principles of segregating rubbish are very simple.It is necessary to remember about them. let us not forget, that before throwing the package away we should clean it. The waste paper should not be smeared with grease and dirtied - if is polluted should be put in refuse skip confused. Clean and drywaste is not only much more valuable, butabove all odourless, so it is possible to eat it,store in many places and you don't need to throw it away to the container every day.

Blue - it is a colour for paper and cardboard. Here all magazines ,books with soft covers (one should remove hard covers), notebooks, catalogues, cardboard and cardboard boxes, cartons, paper bags, wrapping paper can be put. One should remember about removing such elements as metallurgical binders or plastic covers. itis important so that this paper isn't wet, fat or dirty - so we won't throw the piece of paper away here e.g. which butter was wrapped up in. What's more - one should not throw cardboard packages of drinks into these containers, of accounts from cash registers or invoices, of paper wallpapers of sacks after building materials and of nappies or sanitary towels.

Yellow – is the colour for plastics and packages of this type like plastic bottles after drinks, food oils, dishwashing liquids, packages of beauty treatments (must have a right marking), carton of yogurts, plastic sacks, advertising leaflets. All these objects, in particular bottles around drinks, food oils or carton of yogurts should be washed and clean. Plastic toys, bottles after oils and other liquids to machines and vehicles, as well as packages of medicines or polystyrene foam can’t be put into these containers.

Green – is the colour for throwing colourful glassware, i.e. bottles of all kinds after drinks, alcohol and cosmetologies. Don’t throw broken glass. Clean the bottles and remove metal e3lements like metal bottle caps.

White - here one should throw the white bottles i.e. bottles after juices, alcohol, cosmetics, jars. As the same as in case of the colour glassware, one should wash them and not break.Into green and white bottle banks – you can’t throw a table booze, faience, china, mirror, window panes, spectacle lenses, light bulbs, mercury thermometers, glass flowerpots and screens.

Red - colour for metal waste like cans, tins, drinks whether fine scrap - paperclips, bottle caps. pieces of rubbish should be crushed and clean.

Brown - these baskets are for green waste, that is the cut grass, leaves, branches, weeds, flowers, pine tree.

Black - there is all waste which we cannot drop into baskets in other colours. we should remember, that such objects like audio/video devices, home appliances, batteries, medicines, tyres worn out, batteries, paints after the sell-by date or glue we must take to the Point of collecting municipal waste.

In flats a simplified segregation of rubbish being based on a principle is often conducted: dry, wet, glass. Waste being recyclable, that is paper, of wrapping up of plastics, metal is being thrown into the “ container dry ". Waste not-undergoing the recycling is being put in the “ container wet surface ". Washed and not-breaked, both coloured and unstained glass, they are throwing into the third container. They are of help in such a segregation specially produced waste-paper baskets.
