Organic trash: biological and degradable waste.
Inorganic trash: non-biodegradable minerals and synthetic products.
Sanitary Waste: used medical materials, toilet paper, sanitary napkins, among others.

The problem with mixing all these types of waste is that it generates more air, soil and water pollution. The first due to greenhouse gases from the decomposition of garbage, and the last two due to direct contact with waste, which can be of the aforementioned types or even industrial waste or toxic substances.

Herein lies the importance of being aware of recycling in our homes, as well as maintaining a good waste treatment plan in companies that require it.
