AIMS AND REASONS OF THE PROJECT
Description
of the Problem:
Our environment
is polluted and the World is destroyed day by day. In this sense, we aim at
raising environmental awareness in the neighborhood, recycling the garbage,
facilitating to separate the domestic wastes by designing smart dustbins.
MAIN REASONS:
1- That the people do not have
environmental awareness
2- That the district managers do not
work enough upon the garbage separation
3- That the industrial enterprises
leave the wastes without separating them
4- That the schools do not give
environmental education enough upon separation and recycling awareness
ROOT CAUSES:
1- That people are insensitive towards
garbage separation
2- Difficulty in separating the wastes
at home
3- Infrastructure deficiency by
Municipalities
4- Lack of recycling bins in the
neighborhood
5- That the wastes of hospitals,
fabrics etc. are not inspected healthfully.
6- That the owners of the fabrics do
not take enough precautions.
7- Inadequacy of studies at schools.
8- Lack of exemplary behaviors of the
adults
HYPOTHESIS:
The most important solution suggestion in our
Project study, “Raising Recycling Awareness of Public”, is to design smart
dustbins in order to separate the domestic wastes conveniently. We assume that
we can heighten the public upon waste separation with flyers, brochures and
seminars.
In this connection, we have conducted polls so
as to ascertain the public’s knowledge upon recycling.

GENERAL RESULTS

that the answer “Yes” to the question has increased due to the recycling bins
that we have placed in the site.

constantly and the wastes are separated by smart recycling bins at home or in
the neighborhood, the people support the process actively.

Importance of waste subject is constantly increasing. Recycling the wastes both
prevents solid waste areas to be occupied and provides financial gain. In this
sense, what kind of works will you do as a Municipality?
Answer
1: 425.2 tons of package waste is collected in
our district on an average. Initially, we have started to collect package
wastes from the gated community as it is pilot district. Glass wastes are
collected separately from other package wastes with glass bank. Glass banks
have been renovated since September, 2010. 14.07 tons vegetable waste oil has
been collected monthly within Uskudar borders.
We have provided these works to be
published in the billboards by informing directorate of press upon
environmental values calculated weekly from package waste data in order to have
elementary schools in Uskudar collected waste batteries and to get them adopt a
habit of collecting batteries with the campaigns arranged every year regularly.

such as glass, paper, metal, wooden, plastic, textile products etc.?
