Solid Waste Management

Uluru Children’s Home does not have an effective waste management system. Organic matter (kitchen waste) is composted then used on the garden. Some recyclable plastics are sent away for off-site recycling. This may or may not occur. The balance of the waste, including non-recyclable plastics, is burned adjacent to the grounds or dumped.




Design Project: Design a solid waste management system for Uluru Children’s Home. Take into consideration waste reduction and reuse, recycling and appropriate disposal.
