<![CDATA[This community service program aimed to develop a low-smoke incinerator to reduce combustion emissions and improve household waste management efficiency. The program employed a participatory approach involving field observation, equipment design and fabrication, installation, combustion trials, community training, and performance evaluation. The incinerator consisted of two combustion chambers: a primary chamber and a secondary chamber equipped with additional air inlets to support the re-combustion of residual gases. Trial results showed visibly thinner smoke, reduced burning odour, and a shorter combustion time of approximately 10–15 minutes, compared with 30–45 minutes for open burning. The incinerator also produced finer and more uniform ash residue. Community training improved residents’ understanding of waste segregation and the safe operation and maintenance of the equipment. These findings indicate that a double-chamber incinerator has potential as an alternative for managing residual waste at the neighbourhood level.]]>
