Dry Waste Collection Centre, Bistupur

Budget : NA

Innovation Type (Process/ Product): Process

About the Project:

The dry waste collected through door to door collection are brought to the DWCC centre. The DWCC has a storeroom and a change room. The entrance gate is wide enough to allow easy entry to the vehicles that bring in the collected waste. Once the waste is brought to the DWCC, the dry waste is divided into fifteen categories. Periodically when the resource grows into a substantial volume, it is sold off through a transparent process to the recyclers. The revenue which is generated through sale of recyclables is completely an incentive for the waste pickers. Before the commencement of the project the income of each waste picker was approximately Rs.3000 per month. After the project the income of each waste picker increased up to Rs. 14000 which includes a basic pay of Rs.7202 per month and incentive up to 3000 per month plus provident fund and Employee State Insurance benefits.
