Slum dwellers threw garbage attracting rats, street dogs, mosquitoes, flies etc. which is breeding

ground for epidemics. This cause pollution of neighboring area and also Mithi river about 20feetfrom slum running parallel to slum. Also was the great threat to water pipeline supplying water

y Once in 1.5-2months the collected wet garbage is transfer to the composting pitscontaining earthworms.

Feedbacks

y Accha lagta hai (Its nice). - School girly Its not much trouble to us to throw food waste to common dust bin. Previously we threw

home waste just in front of the house, but now the dry garbage are collected by the

cleaning staff and wet garbage we throw to the bin. Not much problem.y Since the pit cover is net, sometimes children put plastic package dusts in it we need to

remove those for the processing.y Each process of45days result in 40-50kg compost used for greening of community

environment.

Facilities

3 concrete pits basement constructed by BMC

Activities (November, 2007 onwards)

y Sensitization, Awareness to vendors and localities at schooly Setting up Composting pity Segregation and composting

Challenges

Since the pit is located next to the market, a lot of vegetable waste and non-vegetable waste

accumulates

Although Cleaning staffs who are working under DVY are collecting money from households,

the public make them work for cleaning up drainage without tools or make them throw theirwaste to the common place etc. to pay. To get local staffs in decent salary is difficult.

BMC dust bins wheels were taken and sold, the proper collection materials are required.

Feedbacks

Although the area was submerged the water when the flood came, peoples practices have notchanged. So a lot of garbage were collected at that time. Awareness for the segregation has done,

however since there are no double bin, and alsoB

MC is carrying everything all together, it willtake time to the public practices to change.

y Garbage Concern also doing vermiculture just nearby the village and some communitypeople were already involved.

y We collaborate with them and started from 3 household in the village.y Before the project starts, they just throw the waste outside the house, it is kind of jangle

area.

Challenges

y Women are busy for their work (teaching sawing), household work, and childrens care.Thus cannot concentrate on only composting.

y Dry wastes are scattered on the ground.Feedbacks

y When it started, I felt its problematic, but as processing, I liked it.y Im not putting food waste because I afraid that insects to come.y I'll transfer this practice to the others at our centrey Its good because we do not need to going out for working, we can use available waste at

here and make profit out of waste.
