This is the most obvious and common form of waste that is highly visible all around us. Packing material, carry bags, plastic bottles, etc., are a major component of DOMESTIC WASTE.

Our objective is to create a MODEL PROJECT that can be replicated all over the country in villages, towns and cities. The project will focus on AWARENESS, PARTICIPATION, COLLECTION, STORAGE and RECYCLING.

AWARENESS: Our project will focus on a small town or community where we launch a campaign to make people AWARE of the problem of ‘domestic waste’. We will request them to help keep the environment clean by ‘participating’ in the project. This campaign will be organized by personal contact, community gatherings, schools, etc.

PARTICIPATION:  The people will be requested to ‘participate’ by reducing the use of plastic bags and encouraging re-usable carry bags. They will be also asked to separate their domestic waste mainly into ‘plastic waste’ and ‘kitchen waste’. They will be also advised on ‘hazardous waste’ such as batteries, fluorescent bulbs, electrical junk, etc.

COLLECTION: We will arrange for small ‘collection trucks’ to collect the segregated waste from the houses on a daily basis. This work will be outsourced as a ‘self employment’ scheme to individuals.

STORAGE: The domestic waste will be delivered to a common waste yard where the process of further segregation and disposal is carried out by composting of biodegradable waste and recycling of other waste products either at the same site or in an alternative site in case of toxic substances.

RECYCLING: This stage involves various levels of technology, labor and machinery. Depending on the type of waste we will have to either build infrastructure or outsource the process of recycling to existing facilities in close proximity.
