The initiative also aimed to raise awareness about sustainable ways to dispose waste created at home.

One of the organisers, Zaheera Sibda Laher says that most people don’t think too much about the garbage they produce every day.

“There is an “out of sight, out of mind” attitude towards garbage as soon as it reaches the garbage bin. At the community level, a similar attitude is found. Waste management is an issue that doesn’t make the agenda until it reaches a crisis level.”

Laher adds that with the way things are going, community’s will suddenly find it has too much garbage and seemingly nowhere to put it.

“Of course, the waste industry tell us that there always will be some place to put it, but the solution is that we need to produce less garbage.”

Laher affirmed that the community needs to implement public space recycling programs which will help boost recycling rates and the recycling industry.
