Waste Management Local BodyCost approach stated
Segregation that survives the collection vehicle
The problem
Households segregate waste that is then recombined during collection, which destroys both the outcome and the household's willingness to continue.
Why it matters
Once residents see their segregated waste tipped into one vehicle, participation collapses and is very hard to rebuild.
Proposed solution
Document whether segregation is maintained through collection, at ward level, with dated photographic evidence.
How it would be implemented
Volunteer observation of collection rounds, published with the ward-level result and the observation dates.
Risks, and what we would do about them
Risk
Blaming sanitation workers for a vehicle and route design they do not control.
Mitigation
Report at ward and contractor level, never naming a worker. Publish vehicle provision data alongside.
