The Uber for Waste Management
Connect with local waste pickers instantly, sell your recyclables, and earn rewards for environmental conservation. Request a pickup from your home, just like ordering a ride!
The Problem
Over 90% of waste in Tanzania ends up in landfills and open dumpsites, creating environmental hazards and missed opportunities for economic growth. Current challenges include:
Inefficient Collection
Poor waste collection infrastructure leads to overflowing bins, illegal dumping, and environmental pollution in urban and rural areas.
Lack of Technology
Traditional waste management systems lack digital tools for tracking, scheduling, and optimizing collection routes.
Low Recycling Rates
Limited recycling infrastructure means valuable materials are lost to landfills instead of contributing to the circular economy.
Community Disconnection
Residents lack easy ways to report waste issues, schedule pickups, or track their environmental impact.
Economic Waste
Millions of dollars in potential revenue from recycling and waste-to-energy projects are being lost annually.
Environmental Impact
Landfills contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and contaminate soil and water resources in communities.
