The waste segregation system was implemented across 40 designated collection points, as follows:

  • Food waste: Processed into fertilizer by Oklin, producing approximately 230 kg/day (30 kg processed on-site with the food waste composter, and 200 kg sent to the factory for composting). Remaining food waste was delivered to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s organic fertilizer production facility.
  • Clear plastic bottles: Collected for the “Magic Hand” project, to be repurposed into reflective safety vests for street sweepers.
  • Recyclable waste: Sorted for the recycling process.
  • General waste: Collected and disposed of in a sanitary manner.

At each waste collection point, two district office staff were stationed, working in two shifts:

  • Morning shift: 10:00–16:00
  • Afternoon shift: 16:00–22:00

Before starting their duties, district officers received training from the Solid Waste and Sewage Management Office, Environmental Department. The training covered proper waste segregation practices, enabling staff to serve as communicators, encouraging visitors to dispose of waste correctly. Training sessions were held twice daily: at 09:00 in the morning and at 15:00 in the afternoon.

In addition, daily on-site inspections and observations were carried out at all 40 collection points.

The 2022 Red Cross Fair was held from December 8–18, 2022, from 11:00 to 22:00.
