There are many ways of waste segregation.
One of these is the Japanese method of segregation.although the Japanese method of segregation is extensively divided into 8 parts. It also consists of a list of wet and dry waste will are to put in each category. The system allots a specific day for the collection of waste.
Mainly the wet waste which spoils fast is collected daily, but the dry waste is segregated and collected on different days of the week. Sometimes 2 or 3 times a week or even once a month. certain wastes like used batteries are collected twice a year.
Here is an article which was published in -"THE HINDU" it tells about the usage of the Japanese simplified system of garbage segregation.
Germany has a selective system of waste disposal. Since the local authorities are in
charge of waste management, this can vary from town to town. In Bonn waste
disposal is organized in the following way:
Every household in general has 4 bins: a black, a green, a blue and a yellow one.
The waste has to be sorted according to the material it consists of and is to be
disposed of as follows:
1. Black Bin
2. Green Bin
3. Blue Bin
4. Yellow Bin Glass (non-returnable bottles, food containers such as jam jars)
has to be disposed of separately. In all neighbourhoods one can find glass
containers. The glass has to be sorted according to its colour (brown, green and
white glass). The glass containers closest to the MPI are situated at the corner of Auf
dem Hügel/Bleichgraben (road leading to the MPI parking).
Bulky waste
All household furnishings which are too bulky for disposal in waste bins such as
furniture, lamps, cupboards/wardrobes, carpets (up to 50 m2), shelves, tables and
chairs.
Collection: Street collection 4 times a year
You should not add: Vehicle parts, old clothes, building waste, domestic waste,
electrical appliances, waste requiring special disposal, cartons, packaging
Waste requiring special disposal
• Large electrical appliances
Such as refrigerators, TV sets or hi-fi equipment, computers, dishwashers,
washing machines, etc.
→ For free collection of these please phone: 01801/880066 (SITA Wagner GmbH)
• Small electrical appliances
Such as toasters, irons, coffee machines, portable radios, hairdryers, etc.
→ Red bins at Lievelingsweg 110 (Office for City Cleaning and Waste
Management), town hall
• Paint, lacquer, solvents, fluorescent and energy-saving lamps, alkaline solutions,
acids, batteries, cleaning agents
→ Waste Recycling Plant, Am Dickobskreuz
Waste disposal schedules are generally distributed to every household by the city of
Bonn (Amt für Stadtreinigung und Abfallwirtschaft).

Here is an article which was published in -"THE HINDU" it tells about the usage of the Japanese simplified system of garbage segregation.
Priti Narayan Garbage will be segregated into three categories Town generates around 350 tonnes of garbage per day Proper incineration, unlike open-air burning, does not release noxious gases PUDUCHERRY: As a permanent solution to Puducherry’s garbage disposal problem, the Puducherry Pollution Control Committee (PPCC) has proposed the implementation of the Japanese model of solid waste management in the town.According to the Action Plan proposed, available on the PPCC website, the model involves a different kind of source segregation of garbage, into three kinds: kitchen waste, incinerable waste and inert waste.“Japan’s high life expectancy has a lot to do with the basic concept of waste management: the objective is to simply remove garbage that could contain pathogens that cause diseases like malaria, filariasis, cholera and typhoid,” environmental engineer N. Ramesh of PPCC explained. In Japan, waste is segregated into eight categories, but Puducherry can adopt a simplified approach, he added.The town generates around 350 tonnes of garbage a day. According to the proposal, segregation of waste into these three categories would take place at the household level. Kitchen waste, which have the tendency to rot and produce odour, would be collected everyday, and directed to a composite plant, in which composting can be facilitated.Incinerable waste, such as paper scraps, cloth and plastic cups, would be collected once a week and directed to an incinerator, while inert waste, such as broken ceramic, glass and metal scraps, collected once a month would be taken to a landfill site.Proper incineration at 1,200 degrees and more, as opposed to open-air burning of garbage, does not release noxious gases, and the ash can be directed to the landfill site, along with inert waste. This way, only 10 per cent of the entire garbage generated will find its way to the landfill site, unlike now, when almost all the garbage goes to the dump, Mr. Ramesh said.Another salient point in the proposal is the setting up of transition collection points. “One of the problems faced today is that our garbage collection trucks having to travel long distances to dump large amounts of garbage. Instead, the trucks could come to the transition point and transfer the garbage into a compacter, a closed vehicle with the capacity of five trucks, and from thereon, the compacter could go to the destination — be it the composite plant, incinerator or landfill,” Mr. Ramesh said.The estimated cost of the entire project is Rs.50 crore, and the initial expenditure on awareness handbooks and five public dustbins, each a set of three, would come to around Rs. 1 crore.
The solution would be a permanent one and is bound to make Puducherry a clean, green place, Mr. Ramesh said.
