SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT: THE EXPERIENCE OF ORGANIZING WASTE RECYCLERS IN ACHIEVING SELECTED MDGs
This paper is divided into three sections, all based upon the interventions by an India-based environmental advocacy group, Chintan. The first section outlines Chintan’s work with children wastepickers. The second describes the process of how Chintan has created partnerships with wastepickers to take up diverse waste handling contracts. In the third section the strands from both earlier sections are woven together to discuss how waste management, in this case, an imaginative approach to waste, has resulted in moving towards the Millennium Development Goal no 2, Access to Education (for children wastepickers). Finally, the conclusion suggests a shift in the way waste is perceived.
