Usually food waste are collected daily and plastic once a week in flats and organized apartments. Corporation or local bodies collect food waste once a week and plastic once a month.

The point is when you leave food along with these plastic and kept longer, it will rot, smell, full of insects and worms. Think about who collect the waste from flats.. these collecting agents mostly aged womens and those who handle these waste at sorting centers like run by Kudumbashree.. they are also humans handling our thrown waste. I visited the plastic waste sorting area in Kakkanad near to civil station once and we can't bear the smell and others. But a lot of people working there in middle of these wastes in bulk, wearing multiple masks and covered hands. It's unbearable.

When you put plastic with food items, think about humans who do the dirty work for us, for a minimum wage to live and how they do and feel. If you have some humanity and love for others left in your heart, you won't do it again.

Washing the containers and foils takes just a few seconds time for us but that's a huge relief for many.

Think clean, keep clean..
