Organic waste can be defined as a type of waste originating from living bodies that are easily decomposed and can be destroyed naturally, such as kitchen waste, leaves, vegetables, fruits, meat, fish, rice and grass clippings or dry leaves. Usually this type of waste can be recycled into organic fertilizer or as material for making biopore holes.

Inorganic waste can be defined as waste that cannot decompose, such as glass bottles, plastics, plastic bags, cans, and metals. This type of inorganic waste can usually be recycled or reused which can generate use value and economic value.
