Doko Recyclers served as the technical partner for the Municipal Solid Waste Management and Green Recovery Program in Lumbini Sanskritik Municipality, led by Creative Institute Nepal with UNDP support. The project aimed to establish a decentralized, community-based waste system in a rapidly growing area.
Doko developed the municipality’s Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for waste management, covering segregation, composting, and safe disposal, officially adopted in December 2023. A Model Ward in Mahilawar piloted source segregation and composting, reaching 250 households, while similar practices were introduced in Muglaha, schools, and Madrasas.
The program also trained 30 municipal waste workers in health, safety, and data tracking, and organized a multi-stakeholder workshop to strengthen partnerships. Additionally, Doko trained 100 rural farmers in organic farming and vermicomposting, supporting green livelihoods. Awareness campaigns and regular clean-up drives further promoted community participation and long-term sustainability.
