In SG, Waste is generally collected
thrice a week by agencies.
Solid waste management and recycling
techniques are employed to deal with
the wastes and requires support from

THE PROPOSAL
To develop a bin, process waste and setup an in-house waste
management setup for HDBs.
The system aims to have a method to ensure that the
bins are used to their full capacity.
The system aims to have detachable parts to ensure
multi-functionality.
The system aims to have a method to indicate the level
ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
Possible earnings from fertilizers SGD 120* per household
per year Stage I
Possible energy saving of 11%** per household in a year
and energy production up to 850** KWh/yr/household.
Payback period for Bin would be around 1 year, as the
proposed price of the bin is SGD 100***
Payback period for Biogas plant will depend***upon
no. of
To be ascertained
Reference : * Based on 50% conversion efficiency ** Based on biogas production of 0.3m 3/kg
