Starting June 1, it is compulsory that you separate your household waste into 2 categories – organic and inorganic wastes. And these 2 types of wastes are to be put into different waste bins if you want the wastes to be collected by Alam Flora.
The good news is that the two separate bins will be provided to each household by Alam Flora and you are required to diligently put the two types of wastes into these bins separately. Failure to do so in the initial stage would result in your piles of waste not collected, but it is said that more action may be in order if people refuse to do so in the long term.
So what is organic and inorganic waste? Do you know how to differentiate them? Read on to find out some tips on how to figure out what is categorised as organic and inorganic wastes.
What is organic waste?
Alam Flora provided a simple example list to show what is considered organic wastes and they are as follows:
- Kitchen waste
- Banana peel
- Potato skin

- Styrofoam food containers

So now you get the idea on how to differentiate what is organic and inorganic wastes? Remember to dispose of them correctly come June 1 when the ruling supposedly starts, otherwise you may risk having to dispose of them yourself!
