Inspire all family members, especially children to throw waste in their respective bins/bags only! Punctual to hand over the segregated waste to Housekeeping staff at the designated time everyday If they missed the morning collection, they have to wait a day to hand over the waste to Housekeeping next day

Housekeeping Staff (HK) DAILY collection of Dry, Wet and Reject Waste door-to-door Maintain a log-book and report to volunteers regarding defaulters or segregation problems they are facing Ensure that they DO NOT pick up mixed waste Dumping the wet, reject and dry waste into the big bins at the Garbage Collection area Segregating some waste if required (this should not become an on-going activity – the concerned resident should instead be reminded and informed) Keeping the garbage area/bins clean Overseeing the collection by the BBMP vendor when the weekly truck arrives Keep an inventory of bins and bags and inform Volunteers in case of damages
