Scope of activities

Pre-release. This site describes standard version 0.1.0-dev, which is in development and may change before version 1.0.0.

Status: proposed

NWSS declares these activity types:

  1. The household service chain novaWaste2 observes: service point enumeration, participant enrolment, separation training, container deployment, collection round, facility weighing (sorted or unsorted), contamination audit, missed-service follow-up, service point evaluation, tag maintenance, collector enrolment and service exit.
  2. The downstream activities that diversion and GHG claims need: material offtake, residual disposal, organic treatment and waste characterisation.

Clean-up events, container retrieval, scale verification and grievance handling are left for later. Where they matter today, they appear as fields of the declared activities.

These are outside NWSS: - collector remuneration, rates, holiday rules and recycler-income sharing, which are bounties; - route planning, work queues, schedule issuing and payment runs, which belong to the operational layer; - logins, access control and mailing lists.

Decided with the standards body on 2026-11-09.

This page explains the standard and does not decide conformance: only the released corpus does. It describes docs/adr/0009-scope-of-activities.md at standard version 0.1.0-dev.
