context_page_description: Waste sorting is the process by which waste is separated into different elements. Waste sorting can occur manually at the household and collected through curbside collection schemes, or automatically separated in materials recovery facilities or mechanical biological treatment systems. Hand sorting was the first method used in the history of waste sorting.
  Waste can also be sorted in a civic amenity site.
  "Waste segregation" means dividing waste into dry and wet. Dry waste includes wood and related products, metals and glass. Wet waste typically refers to organic waste usually generated by eating establishments and are heavy in weight due to dampness. Waste can also be segregeconomic concern. Waste Segregation is different from Waste Sorting. Waste Segregation means to group Waste into different Categories. Each waste goes into its category at the point of dumping or collection. Sorting comes after collection or dumping. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, sorting involves separating items into groups and cites sorting of wastes as an example. Segregation of waste ensures pure, quality material. Sorting on the other hand will end up producing impure materials with less quality.
