FAQs

Questions about joining as a recycler

Why do recyclers need to contact sales instead of signing up directly?

Waste Warriors operates a verified recycler network. We review each applicant's licensing, coverage area, and waste-handling capacity before onboarding to ensure quality for producers. It's a quick process — our team typically responds within 48 hours.

What documentation do I need to apply?

Typically: your NEMA registration or relevant recycling license, proof of your operating area in Nairobi, and details of your waste-handling capacity. Our sales team will walk you through the exact requirements.

Is there a fee to join the platform as a recycler?

There is no upfront joining fee. Waste Warriors earns a configurable commission on each completed pickup — deducted automatically from the payment before your net earnings are credited to your wallet.

How quickly are payouts processed?

Your net earnings are credited to your in-app wallet instantly when a collection is confirmed. You can withdraw to your M-Pesa at any time — transfers are processed via the Safaricom Daraja B2C API.

Can I operate across multiple Nairobi areas?

Yes. You can set multiple service areas in your profile and only receive requests within those zones. You can update your coverage at any time.

How many sub-users can I add to my account?

There is no hard limit on sub-users. Add as many drivers and staff as your operation requires and manage their permissions individually.
