INTRODUCTION

Digitalized waste management system is the strategy an organization uses to sort, collect,

transport and dispose waste correctly. Possible waste disposal methods are recycling,

composting, incineration, landfills, bioremediation, waste to energy, and waste minimization.

Unlike other garbage managements systems, theSixb garbage management (Name of the

website) concentrates on sorting of different types of garbage hence easy management and also

awareness, thereby improving the local environment and offering continuous employment to

individuals from socially and economically disadvantaged groups. For the first prototyping we

will do it inside our Institution (The Kisii National Polytechnic)

OBJECTIVES

General Objectives

The main goal of this project is to come up with a platform that will eventually save the

environment

Specific objectives

1. Create an online solution for waste management

2. Create job opportunities

3. Educate the community of the dangers of poor waste management

JUSTIFICATION

Waste management in Kenya faces numerous challenges and the theSixb sets out plans, targets

and measures to address them. The main challenges are:

  A growing population and economy, which means increased volumes of waste generated,

a growing population and economy, which means increased volumes of waste generated.

This puts pressure on waste management facilities, which are already in short supply

 A historical backlog of waste services for, especially, urban informal areas, tribal areas

and rural formal areas.

 Limited understanding of the main waste flows and national waste balance because the

submission of waste data is not obligatory, and where data is available, it is often

unreliable and contradictory.

METHODOLOGY

The system will be an integrated system which will have many operations that will be mainly

used for creating awareness about the dangers of waste and the benefits of waste management

and also we will be liaising with organizations and give them the six containers for them to use

in collecting different types of garbage

CONCLUSION AND OUTCOMES

After collecting those different types of garbage, we will decide on what to do with these

garbage as below:

Paper wastes – put them in one store to make work easier for the recycling industries to collect

them and manufacture products like tissue papers etc.

Left-over foods – put them in one store to make its collection easier so that it can be taken to

farms as manure or to industries to be manufactured as fertilizer.

Plastics - put them in one store to make its collection easier for them to be taken to recycling

industries to manufacture new plastic products.

Plastic bottles - put them in one store to make its collection easier so that they can be washed

and re-used or recycled by melting them and coming up with new plastic bottles.

General glass - put them in one store to make its collection easier so that they can be washed

and re-used or recycled by melting them and coming up with new glass products.

Metals - put them in one store to make its collection easier so that they can be collected by

industries as scrubs and later on manufacture valuable metal products.

With this approach, we could have solved the problem of waste mishandling in organizations, a

problem which afterwards grows and affects our environment. This problems also later on leads

to creation of big garbage dumpsites which are hazardous to our environment and health.
