Explain how the methods involved in "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Compost" can help to control solid waste.

Answer:

"Reduce" means the reduction or elimination of product packaging. "Reuse" asks that we try to reuse packaging and other materials several times before disposal. "Recycle" refers to extracting useful materials from discarded items and creating new products or uses for them. "Compost" involves the conversion of organic materials into fertilizers.
