Insights on waste management, recycling, and the Kenyan circular economy.
Nairobi generates over 2,400 tonnes of waste every day. Less than 30% of it is collected. The problem isn't lack of recyclers — it's lack of coordination. Here's how Waste Warriors is changing that.
Cash is still king at the kerbside. But cash creates disputes, delays, and opacity. We built M-Pesa STK Push and an in-app wallet to give every party in the transaction a transparent, auditable record.
General, organic, recyclable, hazardous, electronic, construction — choosing the right waste category on your Waste Warriors request ensures the right recycler is matched to your job. Here's what each one means.
A single recycler can only be in one place at a time. Waste Warriors's sub-user system lets recycling companies add staff, assign pickups, and scale operations — while the owner keeps full visibility.
No more "where are they?" calls. Waste Warriors now shows producers the live GPS location of their assigned recycler on a map, with a trail history and estimated arrival.
It took us six months to reach 2,000 completed pickups. Recyclables are the most requested category. Karen and Westlands are our busiest zones. And the most common reason for cancellation is a last-minute date change.
