The garbage trades l are the waste from the trade and services, ie the third sector. They are produced in several establishments which generate large amounts of waste, such as banks, restaurants, bars, supermarkets, stores, hotels, offices, among others.
It consists of several types of waste from plastic packaging, cardboard, paper and food scraps.
What is Trash?
First of all, we must pay attention to the concept of garbage, which includes the various types of waste and / or materials produced by man which are discarded. Depending on their nature, they are classified in several ways.
Selective Collection and Pollution
All of these materials, if thrown in inappropriate places, generate several negative impacts on the environment, such as the destruction of ecosystems, loss of biodiversity and also the contamination of soil, water and air.
Therefore, selective collection , with the separation of recycled materials, can be a good alternative to minimize these impacts. See the colors of the garbage containers for selective collection below:
- Blue : to papers and cardboard;
- Green : glass;
- Red : for plastics;
- Yellow : for metals;
- Brown : for organic waste;
- Black : for wood;
- Gray : for non-recycled materials;
- White : for hospital waste;
- Orange : for hazardous waste;
- Purple : for radioactive waste.
Garbage Types

Public Waste and Industrial Waste
The so-called public garbage is that which comes from the cleaning of public places and deposited in the dumps by the citizens themselves, being composed of various materials such as paper, plastics, leaves, branches, furniture, earth, debris, among others.
Industrial waste is produced by the second sector, that is, by industries. Thus, depending on the activity developed, they can be: chemical products, gases, oils, metals, rubber, fabrics, wood, ash, glass, plastics, papers, among others.
Commercial Waste Collection and Recycling
Several establishments already have different containers that receive a specific type of material: organic (used paper, food scraps, human waste) and inorganic (paper, glass, plastic, aluminum, among others).
Thus, it is possible to conclude the ethical and responsible posture of each location. However, many still do not separate the materials, which generates several environmental impacts .
Many companies and businesses with sustainable attitudes are betting on the separation and recycling of waste, given the considerable increase in pollution in the world. In such a way, the garbage is separated and taken to specific places, be it sanitary landfills or selective collection points.
Other types of actions lead to a decrease in the production of waste, for example, the use of mugs, avoiding the excessive use of plastic cups.
