The recent political turmoil and the cascade of blockades (up until the elections on 5th January) has been a huge disadvantage for Green Channel. Roads were blocked with arson attacks were taking place everywhere. Just before the turmoil started, we begin a new program called Project Trash Patrol (PTP) through which we began checking back on our existing trashcans, numbering them sequentially. We recruited volunteers on a three months basis for these checks ups. However the turmoil prevented us from sending volunteers on the road. We are just about starting to pick up on that program again, and updating our trashcan tracking doc.
Besides, we are also working directly with North Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) to check out new trashcan designs, (that we are very excited about) - that is supposed to be fixed to the ground, to prevent theft and disfiguration. Once those designes and checked out and approved, we will use th enew designs to carry out our next phase - Phase 4.
