It is good to know that you want to take up the initiative. The production of waste in households is a global environmental concern. The root of the problems lies in the attitude of both the authorities and the residents. There are various stages of the waste management and recycling such as monitoring the waste, collecting the waste, Transporting the waste to proper waste management facility, Processing or recycling and Disposal of un-recyclable waste. You can first segregate the waste and choose different coloured bins for disposing different types of wastes. You can encourage other residents in supporting waste management. Reduce, Re-use
