Solution

Segregation

Explanation:

Segregation is the initial step in scientific waste management, involving the separation of waste into distinct categories like biodegradable (wet) and non-biodegradable (dry) at the source. Properly separating items first allows subsequent processing stages like composting organic matter, recycling materials, or dumping residuals to be performed safely and efficiently.
