SOURCES OF RUBBISH
The 'Major Sources of Rubbish' chart shows the types of rubbish surveyed and the proportion they represent of the total rubbish surveyed.

PLASTIC & MISCELLANEOUS RUBBISH
Plastics were the most common rubbish items followed by miscellaneous stuff. Let's look into the details and see what type of plastic and miscellaneous stuff does people throw away.




As we can see from the pie chart. Many things that can be recycled are being thrown away. Some are even things that can be reused. Take for example items from the miscelleneous rubbish found, clothing and furnitures. These are things that we can exchange with one another. Certain things to us may be rubbish but to someone else , it may be something useful.

Thus, when the rubbish is useful to someone else, it is no longer a rubbish.This will definitely help reduce the amount of waste generated if everyone could exchange items and convert them into something useful instead of just throwing them away.
