Plastics, rubber and other man-made materials are the major problematic materials that release toxic substances when burned. The emissions irritate your lungs and are cause of diseases like cancer and asthma. The better method is to dispose man-made materials in the dump, use organic wastes to form compost and recycle shredded paper.
3. Leaving on The Street
You might thing you’re adding to a benevolent cause, by leaving your belongings like sofas, couches, lamps, shoes and other times, with a ‘free’ sign.
