These are non-recyclable waste that usually end up in sanitary landfills
Answer (1)
Non-recyclable waste that typically ends up in sanitary landfills includes items like food waste, food-tainted items (like used paper plates or napkins), ceramics, mirrors, and certain types of plastic like plastic wrap, packing peanuts, and bubble wrap. Many plastic bottles, while technically recyclable, also often end up in landfills or the environment. Here's a more detailed breakdown:Food Waste and Food-Tainted Items:This includes items like leftover food, used paper plates, napkins, and paper towels that cannot be effectively recycled due to contamination. Ceramics and Kitchenware:Items like broken ceramics, mirrors, and non-recyclable kitchenware are often discarded in landfills. Plastic Wrap, Packing Peanuts, Bubble Wrap, and Certain Plastic Bottles:While some types of plastic are recyclable, others like plastic wrap, packing peanuts, bubble wrap, and some plastic bottles (often due to contamination or lack of recycling infrastructure) are more likely to be landfilled. Other Non-Recyclables:Wax boxes, and other items that are not accepted in recycling programs are also often landfilled.
