What kind of steps should be taken to control environmental pollution?

(N/A) Following steps should be taken to control environmental pollution:
$(i)$ Waste Management: Solid waste is not the only waste seen in household garbage. Besides household discards,there are medical,agricultural,industrial,and mining wastes. Proper disposal and management of these wastes can significantly lower environmental pollution.
$(ii)$ Collection and Disposal: Domestic wastes are collected in small bins,transferred to community bins,and then carried to disposal sites. At these sites,garbage is separated into biodegradable and non-biodegradable materials.
Non-biodegradable materials such as plastic,glass,and metal scraps are sent for recycling.
Biodegradable wastes are deposited in landfills and converted into compost.
If waste is not collected properly,it enters sewers or is consumed by cattle. Non-biodegradable wastes like polythene bags and metal scraps choke sewers and can be fatal if swallowed by cattle. Therefore,domestic waste must be properly collected and disposed of in routine life.
