Wastes can be categorised into solid waste, biodegradable waste, hazardous waste, electronic wastes and household wastes. Household wastes are classified as dry waste and wet waste. Medical wastes or bio-wastes are another type of waste from the healthcare sector and can be assigned under hazardous waste.
