4. The Issue
• No scientific waste collection mechanism
available.
• Dry waste is either thrown on the streets or burnt
in open/for cooking.
• Drains are clogged with dry waste.
• Lack of efficient collection mechanism drives a
behavioural tendency to dump garbage at any
place.
• There is no awareness among the residents about
the ill-effects of burning dry waste.
5. Intervention
The project intervenes at two levels:
• Behavioural: Creating awareness on Source
Segregation of waste and prevention of littering
• Infrastructural: Setting up a scientific Waste
Collection, Storage, Composting facility to
enable recycling of resources
