Question

Denzel's mom has asked him to organize the family's trash for disposal. Which of these items should he put with the hazardous waste?

a. aluminum cans
b. Used batteries
c. vegetable waste

Answer 1

The correct answer is option B

The trash that can be harmful for the people should disposed off in the hazardous waste.

The used batteries should be dumped into it as it can be hazardous if it is exposed to the heat and pressure.

There can a minute explosion caused due to used battery if it is not kept safe in the receptacles. This waste cannot be recycled and reused.

Answer 2

The answer would be used batteries. You would be able to recycle the vegetable waste within fertilizing and/or throw it away safely by disposing it in a trashcan since it is not a hazard towards the environment. As for aluminum cans, they are recyclable and are easy to use again once it is filtered through the system. However, batteries are NOT recyclable nor easy to dispose because they can release Alkaline which can harm the environment.
