DRY WASTE SORTING AND TRAINING CENTER

SITE LOCATION RECYCLING UNIT COMMUNITY SPACES

The site chosen is an ideal location as its immediate edges are residential in nature but is very well connected to primary streets on both the sides
making the accessibility to the site convenient. It also is a challenging location as both the streets are not connected to each other and the current
open space in the site area is fragmented and hence not being used. The process of sorting deals with three stages that include -
COLLECTION
Door to door collection system
SORTING
Manual system of sorting
STOGAGE
