E-Waste
This is all waste from electrical and electronic devices. This category includes all digital devices such as telephones, computers, TV ... but also household equipment such as fridges. We can also add to this category bulbs and light fixtures. This waste does a lot of harm to our planet because of the presence of toxic products such as mercury which pollute our waters and the air when this waste is not sufficiently treated. This can cause breathing problems and other health problems in humans.

Organic waste

organic waste is grouped between food residues such as leftover fruit, vegetables, fish ..., garden waste such as leaves, grass ... and finally other organic waste such as bags of potatoes, some handkerchiefs, certain wood shavings... They are often criticized for their bad odors due to their rapid decomposition. This waste does not cause any particular problems for the planets but must be picked up in the street for more cleanliness, they will then have to be thrown into a public compost.
Glass waste
late night waste or jam jars, these wastes are very different from each other. These are all glass waste, they can be very dangerous for passers-by, when they are broken, they can injure children and animals. That's why they have to take them off the street and put them in glass containers.

Packaging, bottles, vegetable bags: this waste has two things in common, they are made of plastic and are single-use. They are very dangerous for our planet because they very often end up in our oceans. The duration of decomposition is very long as for plastic bottles which can reach 1000 years. More than 75% of plastic waste already produced is now waste. The authorities are starting to ban them, such as single-use bags or plastic cutlery.
