PLANNING ESTABLISHING A TASKFORCE Led by MPSJ, a taskforce was established on 27 May 2008 comprising of representatives from the participating hawker centres, resident associations and the waste contractors. The taskforce served as a platform for planning, coordination and decision making for the project. Taskforce meetings were held periodically throughout the project duration to discuss any issues of concern and to decide on corrective action required to ensure effective implementation of the project. CREATING AWARENESS Hawker centres were targeted as waste generators for this initiative. As awareness is crucial for motivating the hawkers to segregate their food waste as part of their daily routines, it was vital to work closely with the hawkers from the beginning of the project. To achieve this, MPSJ conducted briefing sessions about the project at all respective hawker centres. The briefing included explanation on the project objectives, the benefits of the project and the expectations on the participation of the hawkers to segregate their food waste. In addition to the talks conducted at the respective hawker centres, another awareness talk was conducted at MPSJ office. The event was attended by a total of 33 hawkers from the 4 selected hawker-centres. The hawkers reacted enthusiasticly towards the project and agreed to participate. A briefing was also given at the composting facility to show the actual composting process to the participating hawkers. Educational pamphlets were prepared by MPSJ and distributed during the talk. The pamphlets served as an educational tool and as a reference to the hawkers about the project implementation.
