Question 12

Read the poem written below and then answer the question from the information gathered from the book or elsewhere.

Blue and Green

Two bins, you mean

Yes, they are there

to throw your waste

But not in a hurry

Nor in a haste.

Select from waste, sieve if seems muddy

separate all items and when they are ready

place in a blue bin or one that is green

For a voyage to the landfill, or for composting.

(a) Name the two kinds of waste that need to be separated from each other in two different waste bins.

(b) Name two items of waste each that need to be sent to a (i) landfill (ii) for composting.

The compost pit is a mixture of all the organic and inorganic waste while landfill has only organic waste.
