Solid Waste Management
Earthful Foundation has been working for many years with various schools, colleges, apartments, townships, events, etc. to bring in the knowledge and habit of waste segregation under its flagship program – Project Good Waste.
Under this project, we create awareness about the issue of improper disposal of waste and its management. We guide people to segregate their wastes at source so that the recyclable material can make its way to recycling plants and the organic waste can be composted into manure. This way hardly 20% of our waste, mostly the sanitary waste goes to landfill hence reducing air and water pollution significantly. The model of Project good waste has been replicated to various schools, apartments and townships and we aim to spread the good work all across the country.
Project Good Waste at Educational Institutions
Project Good Waste is initiated in educational institutions through an Orientation Program to sensitise the students, teachers and staff about the issues arising out of improper waste management and making them aware of ways to manage waste effectively. Under the project, three coloured dustbins are placed at appropriate places in the school and the usage, as per the colour code, is taught to students & Staff. The process is monitored and the school receives a Green Certificate on successfully achieving the compliance.

Dustbin Stations at Events
The idea of Dustbin stations at the events is to guide people at a large scale, to throw their trash in a segregated manner at the event venue. This is done to create awareness on Waste Segregation by providing the people a first-hand experience on segregation.
Awareness on Plastic pollution and waste management through placard Campaigns
These campaigns aim at creating awareness about plastic abuse among customers and shopkeepers and encouraging them to adopt sustainable and responsible lifestyle options.
Awareness on plastic pollution & Waste Management through fun learning Activities
As leaders of tomorrow, children need to be well-equipped to safeguard our planet. When they are raised in an environment where they are made aware how to conserve nature and manage their waste, they become responsible and thoughtful members of the community. With this thought in mind, we organize fun-learning activities like Slogan Writing, Art Competition, wall painting, etc. for the kids so that they understand the environmental issues around them in an entertaining way.
Plastic Detox Drives
The plastic Detox drive was an initiative to inculcate a positive behavioural change in terms of reducing plastic waste from our daily use. Under this initiative, we organized a Plastic awareness cum collection drive and urged people to reduce consumption of harmful plastic which is damaging the environment.
Earthful Haat
Earthful Haat- An initiative of Earthful Foundation aimed at channelizing the used clothes to the needy ones and prevents them from going to the landfill. The event attracted hundreds of people and provided them the pride of choosing and buying clothes by adding a minimal cost to it instead of donating it randomly.
Ek Prithvi Program on Solid Waste Management in collaboration with WWF-AAPSO
Under Ek Prithvi- Solid Waste Management program, in 10 schools of Mayong, we conducted Awareness Program for the students, teachers and staff in which Waste Segregation process was explained through presentation and interaction session. We guided them to segregate their wastes at source so that recyclable material can make its way to recycling plants and the wet waste can be composted and made into manure. We placed three-coloured dustbins in the school along with Segregation charts to provide practical experience of segregation to the students. We created a Compost pit in the school premises and demonstrated the process of composting to the students. We provided the schools with Bamboo Cages where they stored their plastic wastes once the Blue Bin is full.
