Answer:

COMPOSTABLE WASTES. Compostable wastes are biodegradable

wastes such as food waste, garden waste, animal waste and human

waste. They undergo biological degradation under controlled conditions

and can be turned into compost (soil conditioner or organic fertilizer) by

mixing them with soil, water, air and biological additives/activators

Examples are:

· Fruit and vegetable peelings

· Leftover foods

· Vegetable trims

· Fish/fowl/meat/animal entrails

· Soft shells

· Seeds

· Leaves

· Flowers

· Twigs

· Branches

· Stems
