It is understood by trash that heterogeneous set of wastes, generally solid, that arises as waste material from different human or animal activities.

It is important to highlight the collective aspect of trash, since we all produce the garbage. Within this vast category, two types of garbage are known:

• Inorganic trash: Is heset of wastes that are not of biological origin. These are undoubtedly the ones that most pollute the environment, since having a synthetic composition, either total or partial, are difficult for microorganisms to degrade, so that they remain unchanged for much longer than other waste. Although households produce a certain amount of inorganic waste, it is industries that generate this kind of waste on a larger scale.
• Organic trash: It derives mainly from food processing in the homes or premises of food sale. These residues are more unpleasant but they tend to be less problematic for societies, since being biodegradable, decompose without major difficulties. They are even often used as organic fertilizers or in composting.

Classification of inorganic waste

Inorganic garbage it is subdivided into two types:

• Recyclable: can lead to a process of reuse, which by the way is the most desirable.
• Non recyclable: the only way to deal with it and to avoid its negative impact on the ecosystem is by confining it in suitable containers, to avoid its indiscriminate dispersion by the environment. It is important to have adequate containers for the disposal of garbage in general and inorganic garbage in particular.
