I was asked by a friend to think about a few ideas for helping a place with lack of suitable garbage collection. I tried to think about ideas both for daily collection as well as getting rid of piles of old junk that polutes the streets.
Idea 1 - a place with low wages and piles of recyclable materials is great ! All we need is to create several bodies. The plastic corps, the glass corps, the metal corps and the compost corps. Each will pay its people to seek for recyclable materials and sell them to international corporations. This is a goldmine . Just need to sort things out and find a buyer. With dedicated people for each type they can become experts and know what can be recycled and what not. If they are profitable they will be self maintained and grow.
Idea 2 - another idea is to create mobile shredding machines that will reduce the non organic stuff to saw dust size and combine it with the cement when building various facilities thus saving material costs … not sure exactly what this can be used for… roads? playgrounds? low buildings? other?
Idea 3 - another idea is to create kits for creating compost from the organic waste on rooftops. They can both sell the resulting compost as well as have a free layer of separation to lower electricity bills for cooling and heating by better isolation. People can be hired to look for organic waste and put on roof devices and harvest resulting compost.
Idea 4 - another idea is for the government to create special holding and treatment centers and pay for every kilo of trush brought there … Extra payment if it is sorted … When there are many poor people it will be popular…
Idea 5 - another idea is to hold festivals for example the glass festival… Hundreds of tracks will drive slowly that day in the street with music and glass songs and people should throw into the track glass waste… The more trash thrown the longer the track with a TV crew remains in the area and say good things about the people there …
Idea 6 - another idea is to invent special organic waste containers with huge capacity and an internal mechanics to dry up and transform organic waste to compost. Then a commercial company can harvest the compost to sell it and maintain the machine in the container.
If you have more ideas put them in the comments…
