Let's start educating waste sorting

Coinciding with the commemoration of "National Waste Care Day" which is commemorated every February 21, the Faculty of Medicine held a socialization to invite all members of the Faculty of Medicine, in particular, to be aware of the responsibility for any waste produced by individuals or natural waste from trees.

This activity was socialized directly by the administrator of Darma Wanita (DW) Syiah Kuala University, namely Nova Ernyda, S.Si. The activity was attended directly by the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and more than 50 other participants.

This socialization also explains how to sort waste into organic waste, non-organic waste and residual waste. Organic waste is waste that comes from living things that are capable of decay or decomposition.

Non-organic waste is waste produced from non-biological materials, either in the form of synthetic products or the result of technological processes for the management of mining materials or natural resources and cannot be decomposed by nature.

Residual waste is one part of the characteristics of household waste where residual waste is waste that cannot be reused or recycled or made into compost and usually has no economic value so it cannot be used as stall material.

The garbage is first sorted, to be transported by the cleaning staff. And after being sorted, the waste can be handed over to the Syiah Kuala University Garbage Bank or handed over to the Medical Faculty Garbage Officer as Waste Infaq.

From this socialization, it is hoped that if we can segregate waste properly, we will help manage the environment around us, so that it is hoped that the awareness of the residents of the Faculty of Medicine will emerge about the importance of protecting the environment which can start from the home environment.

Your trash is your responsibility, and keep it clean and your health will be maintained.
