It discusses launching a pilot program with 15 homes in 2012, expanding to a full system for all 49 apartments by October 2012. The system includes segregating wet, dry, and other types of waste. Through composting and selling dry waste, the program became self-sustaining with monthly revenue exceeding costs. Resident participation was increased through education campaigns. The system reduced waste volumes by 50% from initial levels.

stiff penalties for default
• Personal supervision

• Focus on waste segregation as a resident responsibility –
resulted in proper implementation
11. Our challenges and learning’s
• Indifference during initial stages – but no active
resistance
• Internal campaign and selling
• Make the system simple to use
• Tweaking the process – trial and error
• Strong internal policy – multi-pronged approach,
awareness, forgiveness, arm twisting
• Ownership of the objectives and process – maids,
residents
• Revenue generation a pleasant surprise!

• Ensure 100% compliance from residents
• Be self-sufficient in managing our waste and be independent
