Waste Warriors - Composting at Gandhi Park
Budget : Rs 22000
Innovation Type (Process/ Product): Process
About the Project:
Waste Warriors was founded by Jodie Underhill and Tashi Pareek in the year 2011. It is non-profit organization and is registered under society, committed to tackling India’s garbage problem. They started the campaign from their native place Dehradun through a community clean-up drives, education programs and creation of affordable and sustainable waste management system. Waste Warriors have prepared several composting enclosures across the city parks, where dry leaves are being used to make compost. Horticulture waste collected from all the parks of Dehradun is brought to Gandhi Park where 10 pits have been constructed to carry out composting. The total garden waste from all these parks (including Gandhi Park) amounts to 3200 kg per month. About 600 - 650 kg of compost is generated from these pits every month. One batch of compost takes around 45 days to get ready which is then sieved and packed for sale. One supervisor personnel is required for monitoring and supervision of these pits once they are constructed. The capital expenditure includes cost of wooden poles, wire mesh, bamboo and paints for construction of the pits which amounts to around Rs. 2200 per mesh pit. The operational expenditure is around Rs. 2000 per month that includes maintenance of the civil structures as well as payment of salaries to the supervisors. The compost thus produced is sold at Rs. 15 per kg to the residents, schools and other institutions. This compost is also available online.
