About this Project

Why it is needed

Segregation of solid waste at source is the foundation of an effective waste management system. However, in many communities, households and businesses continue to mix wet, dry, and domestic hazardous waste due to limited awareness, established habits, and inadequate understanding of the importance of segregation.

Mixed waste reduces recycling potential, increases the burden on processing facilities, and leads to greater waste dumping and environmental pollution.

What gets done

The initiative focuses on changing waste disposal habits through community awareness campaigns, household outreach, school activities, local events, and demonstrations on waste segregation. It engages residents, sanitation workers, community leaders, and local institutions to promote the use of separate bins, responsible waste disposal, and sustained segregation practices.

The initiative also works with local authorities to strengthen collection systems and ensure that segregated waste remains separate during collection and transportation.

What your funding changes

Your contribution can help turn awareness into lasting behavioural change, enabling households and communities to adopt responsible waste segregation practices. Better segregation improves recycling and composting, reduces the volume of waste sent to landfills, and makes waste recovery facilities more effective.

By investing in behaviour change, your funding helps build the foundation for a cleaner environment and a sustainable, community-driven waste management system.
