India produces around 62 million tonnes of garbage every year, and 62% of it ends up in landfills. Since most of the disposed waste is recyclable, it is necessary for the waste to stay segregated till the recycling stage. Unsegregated waste makes it difficult to derive value out of it during the recycling process, as waste gets mixed in large quantities during the collection process. Therefore, the problem must be solved at the roots of waste collection and handling in order to prevent the mixing of waste. The pushcarts used by the pourakarnikas (household garbage collectors) of Bengaluru are the first mediums for the collection and transfer of waste. Through observation, it was noticed that the cart neither aids the process of carrying segregated waste nor is it easy to handle in terms of moving it, stopping it, etc. To understand more problems associated with the cart and see it in the perspective of waste management, field studies were conducted in and outside IIT campus. The studies include understanding the way waste is disposed of by the consumers, the identification and handling of waste by the collectors, and the transferring of the waste and the equipment used to transfer it from the source to the disposal unit. Studies also understand recycling and disposal of waste based on its type. Based on the study, the design brief was structured, and ideation was done. The ideation included creating scaled mock-ups to get a clear understanding of the concept. The agenda during ideation was not only to address the issue but also to make sure that the cart fits into the system. A 1:4 scale mock-up model was created to get a better idea of the design of the cart. And addresses all the issues mentioned in the brief.
