FROM TWO THOUSAND TO TWO MILLION - THE EVOLUTION OF A COMMUNITY-BASED PRIMARY COLLECTION MODEL IN INDIA

This paper describes the implementation of lessons learned from the experience of developing a primary collection system that was initially serving two thousand people in Jaipur, but now reaches two million in different cities. The approach – or model – has developed with time, and so have the tools. The reasons for a lack of success in two locations are discussed, and the constraints to such systems are also reviewed. The poor have benefited in a number of ways from the improvements described here. Though not all the areas that are covered by this system are poor, there are many poor communities which now have a reliable waste collection service as a result of the initiatives described here. Jobs have been created and the working conditions and productivity of recycling workers have been improved.
