Wasting Time Identifying Waste

There are so many different classifications of waste, it must be very tiresome having to identify all the types and dispose of them accordingly. Not my kind of job.

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection mentions a basic classification of wastes. They include municipal waste, dry sewage sludge, bulky waste, construction and demolition waste, vegetitive waste, animal and food processing waste, dry industrial waste, abstesos, incinerator ash or waste ash, bulk liquid and semiliquids, septic tank clean out wastes, and liquid sewage sludge. Each category can be broken down to individual materials, so you can imagine how much shtuff we consume and end up throwing out. You're probably thinking, damn, I'm never gonna remember all this. And well you wouldn't really have to, since the majority of them fatl into the hands of corporate manuafacturers rather than the normal lay person. Apparently, quite a handfull of them are the result of "disposed" waste.
