Practical guide
Four-Stream Source Segregation Monitoring
Segregation monitoring should record what was presented and collected, not merely whether a vehicle visited the street.
Implementation checklist
Measure service and behavior separately
A household may receive service but present mixed waste. Record collection completion and segregation status as separate fields.
Use data for corrective action
Repeated mixed-waste clusters can guide IEC visits, route supervision and ward-level follow-up.
Frequently asked questions
Does GPS prove source segregation?
No. GPS can show vehicle movement; segregation needs household or area-level service records.
