05.33 THE
RECYCLING STRUCTURES
This section
refers to the planned recycling structures as a general system. For technical
details on the recycling of the various types of organic waste at household
level please refer to to 6.26 Recycling
structures.
A special fund
is included in the budget to cover the costs of setting up the recycling
strucutures, which have priority. The funds will be repaid by the beneficiaries
in the same way as those made available to the Beosite factories. They will
take the form of interest-free credits repayable according to the real
possibilities of those involved as decided during the organisational workshops
during which the structures are set up. The repayments will be financed by sale
of materials such as fertilisers and compost ourside the project area and by
the "exportation" of solid non-organic waste which are not recyclable
within the project area itself. For an illustration of a possible general
structure for the integrated recycling of waste in project areas refer to:
DRAWING OF WASTE DISPOSAL STRUCTURES.
The work of
the recycling structures will be carried out within the local money LETS
systems already set up. One of the more interesting features of LETS systems is
that, in contrast with what happens in the western monetised economies, work
considered as "dirty" and/or "heavy" is usually better paid
than "clean" and/or "light" work as the rates charged will
normally be related to the perceived value of an hour's work in the forseeable
normal working situation.
Usually at
least two Moraisian workshops will be held. Often, one workshop for each LETS
loal money system.
Indicative
participation (all workshops together)
The Moraisian
trainers
The project coordinator
Consultant Terry Manning
At least one representative of the ONG
Representative of the Finance Ministry
Representative of the Health Ministry
Representative of the Rural Development ministry
At least 5 observers (possible coordinators for future projects)
200 persons (male and female)indicated by the tank commissions, interested in
participating.
Duration of
each workshop: about six weeks.
The Workshops
will be expected to produce the following structures:
a) Definition
of the social form of the structures
- statutes
- rules
- professional and administrative structures
- financial aspects including relations with the Micro-credit institution
- relations with the local money LETS systems
b) Analysis of
requirements
c) A structure
for the recycling centres
- Definition of the land requirements and the physical structures necessary
- formalities and permits
- design of the centres
- construction of the centres
- purchase of the necessary equipment
d) A structure
for the collection/deposition of waste
- urine
- composted excreta
- waste water
- other organic waste
- non organic solids
- special industrial wastes
- medical wastes
- who will do what
- definition of individual zones
- definition of specialisations
e) A
commercial structures
- definition of the tarrifs applicable to the various types of material
- distribution of urine and composted excreta
- direct recycling of certain materials
- contatcs for the exportation of materials not recyclable locally
f) A
monitoring structure
- sanitary conditions
- ecological conditions
- safety conditions
g) A
communications structure
- vertical, at project level (coordinator, centre managers, collection
structures, end users)
- horizontal, between centres
- relations with local money LETS systems
- commercial, radio, website
Forward: lighting
structures for study purposes.
