All you need a small patch of ground and how to separate the food types the internet is filled with various ways to start off or learn more about worm composting or black soldier fly composting which can be done indoors or outdoors. If that method seems like too much trouble check in at your local gardening supplier most of them stock boxes or containers with very easy to operate instructions ready to start when you get home + What are the different categories of waste? Industrial waste - waste generated on industrial premises through manufacturing or fabricating processes.
What are the special provisions regarding hazardous waste?

The Director may also arrange for the rehabilitation and repair of any infrastructure, buildings, equipment or natural environment. All the costs of management, rehabilitation and repair are for the account of the person responsible for the emergency. If the emergency is an act of God the City will deal with the emergency as the circumstances and funding best allow. If the waste is not in a container provided by the City, the storage containers used for the storage or transportation of waste must be intact and not corroded or in any way unfit for use. Ensure that the waste cannot be blown away. Prevent all nuisances such as odour, visual impacts and breeding of vectors. Pollution and harm to health must be prevented.
