Solid Waste management is a global issue requiring urgent attention. It is a particularly severe problem in Indian cities like Mumbai as the overwhelming population and continuous growth combined with poor management strategies by local government leads to visible garbage pile-up almost everywhere, causing reduction in quality of life for citizens. Existing ‘pick-up and dump strategies’ are ineffective due to the lack of space, and negative environmental side effects of landfills. There is an urgent need to reduce the quantity of waste being sent to landfills. The study undertaken by this project has shown that littering is also common because existing dustbin solutions are not user-friendly, have no visibility and are poorly deployed. This project studies the context of the current problem and offers implementable design solutions to allow more effective solid waste management through increased segregation to reduce landfill waste, proper disposal of solid waste by citizens through higher bin visibility, and improving civic sense through education.
