Secondly,the volunteer communicators, teachers and school children were expected tocomment on the effectiveness or otherwise of educational materials andcampaign methods. Finally, the rag pickers and the public at large had viewson the feasibility of the system. Youth clubs, associations, educationalinstitutions, citizens’ forums and the ragpickers’ associations, groupsworking with street children etc. were all in a position to make valuablesuggestions.The feedback was interpreted to make improvements in the systems ofcollection and disposal and the pickup of recyclable matter from houses,shops etc., and to modify educational materials and methods.A feature of the strategy is that standardized systems suitable to a givenlocality should be established, carried out and followed up by citizens’associations. Schools and other educational institutions should includeteaching about waste in their curricula and in extra-curricular activities, andformulate action programmes for their localities. In schools, the creation ofcomposting pits, the collection of recyclable materials, crafts and the makingof models using waste materials and workshops on recycling paper,composting etc. have been proposed.The programme counts on finding sponsors - the citizens themselves, privateenterprise, or large service clubs - to procure basic but essential materialssuch as tricycles, buckets, drums, uniforms, shovels, rakes, and gloves aswell as the means to construct composting pits.CEE South continues to persuade the BCC to create sanitary landfills for thesafe disposal of toxic and soiled waste.“Clean Up Kodagu”The disposal of non-biodegradable waste in far-flung districts of Indiacreates a special problem. Urbanization in the rural areas has increasedconsumption and wastage, and plastic, glass and packaging materials arethrown out indiscriminately to lie in heaps on the roadside. Recycling andreprocessing industries are few and far between and waste pickers neglectsuch areas. The problem is particularly acute where the terrain is hilly,transport expensive and difficult to find.In the Coorg district of Karnataka, a “Clean Up Kodagu” Committee(Kodagu is the indigenous name for Coorg) was formed, and a strategyworked out to rid the district of non-biodegradable waste, by collection fromhomes, shops and other businesses. The District Commissioner, theSuperintendent of Police, the Deputy Director of Public Instruction (DDPI),the Deputy Conservator of Forests, and other officials and prominent citizenstook part in the work of the committee.School children were asked to collect non-biodegradable waste at home andto bring it to school. Schools and teachers were asked by the DDPI to64
