Ses / Nos - translation

The tittle of the passage is 'A quoi ça sert de trier ses déchets' is translated as what is the use of sorting our waste? Our=notre / nos? and ses = his / her / its? Please help understand if the translation is correct?

À quoi ça sert de trier ses déchets? -- (lit.) For whom is it of use to sort one's waste?

Does that literal translation answer your question? The reference is to an anonymous and general "you" which would be on in French. And the possessive pronoun for that is ses.
