2. Facility for segregation and storage - cost implications

3. Willingness of the Waste collection staff to segregate -extra staff requirement?

4. Awareness of the community on proper segregation ● Waste segregation guide and manual for proper disposal ● Awareness activities by OSC 5. Other facilities at prime locations for recyclable disposal 6. Hazardous waste on campus?
