The place I live doesn’t have any kind of waste management. Not even dustbins. There is a growing waste management crisis but factor like politics and lobbies have been termed as reason why there aren’t any.

I work in tech space, not in waste management but this is something I really want to see executed. I have implemented smart dustbins in a project at another country is my only reference. Smart dustbins would probably be out of local budget and I doubt it would be okayed as part of solution.

I have some scientific contacts and local govt contacts who’ve given a green light to a proposal. I’m wondering how effective it would be as a business model and if it’s something I could pull off as a team of four engineers. Maybe roll out in management in small steps? Would my customer base would be the govt? Does that work?

If nothing, I just want dustbins to be set up in primary locations.

Really appreciate feedback in the form of criticism, experience or insights, thank you.
