This involves the management and disposal of waste products.Vegetative wastes include, grass, leaves, brush (grass brooms), coffee husks, peels, banana fibres and papyrus. To keep our environment clean, wastes have to be recycled, to reduce on the wastes.This means less pollution, bad odour e.t.c. Peels can be used as animal feeds and they help to improve on milk prodution and maintain healthy skins. Peels can be collected from households and sold to those who need them, thus are a source of income. Peels are also used to make compost manure thus maintaining soil fertility. Peels are a necessay ingridient in the manufacture of salt and soap. Banana fibres from prunning can be used for making toys, balls, decorations, ropes and as building materials. Fresh grass can be used as fodder for cattle. Dry grass can be used for thatching houses and as carpets for cattle. Fresh grass can also be used as manure and dry grass for making cushions. Papyrus can be used to make mats, baskets and decorations. Coffee husks are used as litter in poultry and afterwards as mulch and manure.They could also be used as fuel and making bullets. Sisal can be used for making ropes on which potted plants are hang as decorations. In addition to the above, the lawns in Namagunga are not tresspassed thus promoting the evergreen cover that makes the place attractive to the eye. However, if vegetative wastes are not well managed, they give off offensive odours which pollue the air, attract flies and cause diseases like dysentry. Runoffs from fields alter the natural composition of water making it undesirable and unsafe for usage. Cleary,vegetative wastes if well managed, are more useful than harmful.
