Abstract The current study focuses on understanding how household waste is managed with the help of domestic workers and how aware they are about proper waste segregation. The study is part of the project which aimed to spread awareness among them about how important it is to separate waste correctly to keep our homes and surroundings clean.
Every day, a lot of waste is produced in every household, and most of it is handled by domestic help workers. They play an important role in keeping the environment clean, but very often, they do not get proper guidance or training about how to manage waste safely.
The data was collected through a questionnaire and interview of domestic help workers in my nearby area. They were asked about their daily waste-handling activities, whether they separate dry and wet waste, and if they use gloves or masks while doing their work.
The findings suggest that most domestic help workers were not very aware of proper waste management methods. However, when we explained the importance of segregation and recycling, many of them showed excitement and said they would like to follow these practices if proper systems, bins, and support were provided in their workplaces.
