    Household garbag, including food  waste, should be securely bagged and stored for proper disposal when conditions permit.  Toilets and other plumbing fixtures should be used only if they drain properly.  Hazardous materials include solvents, paints, gasoline and similar fuels, electronics, pesticides, fertilizers, household chemicals, oil, lead-acid batteries, and even explosive materials to be removed  from the house as early as possible and should be dumped away from home.  Consulting the governing authorities and taking help from others can make the garbage and flood wastage away from the surroundings.  It should be done as early as possible to avoid any health problems of the garbage.
