Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The two categories of waste are biodegradable and non-biodegradable. Biodegradable waste can degrade naturally and be easily broken down by microbes. The action of microorganisms does not break down (break down into smaller pieces or consume) non-biodegradable waste. They harm the environment. These can be further divided into two categories: toxic waste and recyclable waste. Waste that can be recycled for additional use in some fashion, such as paper, plastic, glass, metal, etc., is referred to as recyclable waste. On the other hand, hazardous waste is the most dangerous and cannot be recycled. These include batteries, obsolete medications, chemicals, paints, spray cans, and bulbs.
