DATE:    Tuesday, 3rd,April, 2001

            At a few minutes to five o’clock in the evening of tuesday 3rd April 2001, we the participants of the Domestic Waste Management Project, gathered in the College Computer Laboratory to meet with our club master, Mr.Langoya.Barnabas.

         After a few instructions from him, we proceeded to our first area of work around the basketball courts, which is directly behind our school canteen. Some of us started gathering the rubbish from infront of the courts, which later burnt.  The rest of us burnt the refuse at the back of the courts and the waste included; mainly polythene bags, used for parking eats from the canteen, and food peelings.

            From there the team left for the school kitchen waste damping site where we found various types of waste such as banana (matooke) remains, cassava peels, sweet potato and Irish potato peels plus bones.  We gathered the waste and put it in the rubbish bin waiting to be transported to the school farm where it is used to feed livestock and as well as be use as manure.

         Contented with our work at the courts, we proceeded to the to the damping sites near the Junior Physics Laboratory where we found a lot of solid waste which included mainly waste papers, pencil remains, used-up pens, where we burnt all of them to ashes.

        We then moved via the area in front of the administration block and picked up all the litter we found along the way.  We moved on to the damping site near the Senior One residential houses where we found a huge pile of both combustible and non-combustible materials such as metallic containers, rotting food, paper boxes and old pieces of cloth. These are the waste from the domitories where the students sleep. We gathered the waste and burnt it.
 
         Generally we found that the main components of the solid waste were polythene bags, waste paper, food remains.  The other components were metallic containers, old pieces of cloth and tree branches
