The 18 months Community Initiative for Urban Household Waste Composting Pilot Project organised by MBPJ and CETDEM with funding from the DANIDA-SWMC and Ministry of Housing and Local Government came to an end last Saturday. The day marked 46 households from an initial of 52 pax graduated with flying colour. They have been learning, coaching, mentoring and producing compost from their kitchen waste for the past one and half year. It is very encouraging and inspiring of listening to their stories. Many of them encountering problem of odours, maggot and complaints before mastering the skill of doing compost. It is never an easy task. Now, they are prepared to be the resource person for disseminating their knowledge and skills to their neighbours and friends. We are talking about getting them to coach others in replicating this project. It is truly a waste solution AT Source, something we have forgotten conveniently due to the complicated steps involved, and of course the perception of attitude of individual is difficult to change.
I think the project proved that it is not impossible if plenty of guidance and support is given.
