- We find that an information campaign along with kerbside collection of inorganics can encourage households to segregate at source.
- However, in the case of providing plastic bags in addition to information campaign and kerbside collection, we see a fall in the percentage of households segregating once plastic bags run out.
- Dustbins along with information campaign and kerbside collection have a sustained effect in changing households’ behaviour in comparison to plastics bags.
