Encouraging recycling and recovery where possible, Waste Sense says this isn't always an option. They explain that 'general waste' is a global name used to describe hard to recycle, landfilled streams such as waxed cardboard, strapping ties, food containers and tissue paper. Additionally, food scraps, mixed office waste, commercial and industrial waste and non-recyclable packaging material falls into this category.

Waste Sense explains there are various streams of recyclable materials, including paper and cardboard, plastics and glass. The most common recycling stream for both households and businesses is comingled recycling. Dry and clean recyclables such as rigid plastics, paper, cardboard, glass, steel and aluminium can be collected in a single bin for recycling. Once collected, various technologies are used to pre-screen and manually separate the waste into viable streams to be baled and transported to local recyclers or exported to be reused.

Other waste streams include document destruction, bathroom and sanitary, medical and biohazard, polystyrene and foam, wood and timber, organic waste, metal, liquid waste and prescribed waste. Certain waste types, including prescribed waste and medical waste are hazardous and must be handled and disposed of in specific ways, says Waste Sense.
