‘Waste’ is defined as any substance that has no further use left and requires nearby or off-site treatment and transfer to be disposed of. However, you should keep in mind that what is defined as waste greatly depends upon the local governing regulations also which define waste through Government’s eyes.

Waste is generated generally through human activities such as normal household or office activities, and may include:

Recyclable general waste such as paper, wood, holders, organic waste or Non-recyclable general waste such as food scraps, building construction materials etc.
