§ 113887 Solid Waste Definition

• •Refuse is trash that doesn't go down the drain or toilet.
• •It's stuff like food scraps, paper, or plastic that you throw in the trash can.
• •This law is about how to handle that kind of trash.

You finish eating an apple and throw the core in the trash can.

The apple core is 'refuse' because it's solid waste that doesn't go down the drain. This law helps decide how that trash should be handled.
