Interactive waste-sorting game

Waste sorting is the process of separating waste into different types. This can be done by hand at home, collected from the curb, or sorted automatically in special facilities. The first method of sorting waste was done by hand. Waste can also be sorted at recycling centers.

Waste segregation means dividing waste into two main types: dry and wet. Dry waste includes items like wood, metal, and glass, while wet waste refers to organic waste, usually from food, which is heavier because it’s damp. Segregating waste at the source helps keep materials clean and of better quality, while sorting after collection can lead to mixed, lower-quality materials.
