Since they are talking about two kinds of waste, isn�t the answer are? Household (waste) and garden waste are collected to make compost. Household and garden waste are mixed together to make compost. |

Waste is countable, so if you want to separate the two kinds, say that household and garden wastes are collected. Bruce |
