    This project focused on improving garbage management at one school in Kampung Ayer, Brunei. The waters around Kampung Ayer were polluted due to improper garbage disposal. The school did not have recycling programs or teach students about proper waste disposal. To address this, the student created posters and briefed teachers on recycling and the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). Recycling bins were placed strategically around the school to make recycling easy and encourage students. A student competition was also held to raise awareness of recycling and reuse. The goal was to establish recycling programs to reduce pollution and teach responsible waste disposal.

    Project O: Garbage Management in one School in Kampong Ayer

    By student: Mohd Hassanul Fikhri Bin Hj Abdullah

    Problems:
    Kampung Ayer is one of Brunei’s most famous landmarks and is known as the Venice of
    the East. It is the largest water village in Asia and is home to many Bruneians, who live
    there and send their children to school there. Unfortunately the waters of Kampung Ayer
    are quite badly polluted. Many people do not understand the importance of proper
    garbage disposal and have no qualms about dumping rubbish in the lapping water
    beneath their homes. Many schools do not teach students the proper means of disposing
    of rubbish or the problems caused by improper waste disposal. Some schools are not even
    provided with plastic bags, encouraging students to simply dump their rubbish in the
    river. There are few schools that take the initiative to start rubbish sorting, reusing and
    recycling. This project focused on one school in Kampung Ayer that had no recycling
    programs set up at all.

    Possible solutions:
    The awareness of staff and pupils of the concept and importance of the 3Rs (Reduce,
    Reuse, Recycle) should be raised. This could be done by visiting the school and asking
    for permision to explain to the staff and students the concept of the 3Rs. The concept
    could be explained by briefing the teachers, creating posters to put up around the school
    or leaflets to hand out throughout the school. The school should be encouraged to acquire
    different recycling bins, one for paper and one for plastic, and staff and students should
    be encouraged to use them as often as possible. The school should be encouraged to reuse
    any scrap paper e.g. by writing/printing on the back of used sheets of paper.

    Actions taken:

    The writer researched garbage management and the concept of the 3Rs, and then briefed
    the teachers at the school on the writer’s findings. The teachers were briefed on the
    importance of proper garbage disposal and the advantages of the 3Rs. Posters were
    designed that raised the awareness of both staff and students, containing information on
    the importance of recycling and basic guidelines for sorting out rubbish. The writer
    organised a competition for the students to take part in to raise their awareness of proper
    garbage disposal, where the task was to be as creative as possible with ways to recycle or
    reuse items. The writer observed the school’s classrooms and layout and made a decision
    COMMUNITY PROBLEM SOLVING PROJECTS

    as to which places would be most suitable for recycling bins to be placed so that they
    could be easily accessed and used, thereby making it easier for students to use them and
    encouraging students to use them. The writer spoke with the Head of School to School
    Head, discussing possible options of carrying out as much recycling as possible at the
    school. The school community was given advice on how to sort paper out into paper that
    should be recycled and paper that can be reused.

    recycling bins that were placed throughout the school, and boxes that were set up for the
    collection of paper to be reused.
