01.SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
The Solid Waste Management projects is an initiative that enables low income families to trade and recycle their household wastes preventing it from pilling up and help to solve the Tanzania Acute waste management problem.
This project strives for maximum waste recovery through composting ,recycling and re-use and aims at zero waste to be disposed onto dump-yards and land fills.
Recycling makes use of materials that otherwise would become waste by turning them into valuable resources. Recycling helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, in part, by diverting waste from landfills.
Starting from Mwanza, the project aims to reduce unmanaged wastes in low income neighborhood and provide a reliable supply of materials to the local recycling industry.
The project uses local cargo bicycles to collect recyclables from households in densely populated areas and poor areas of Mwanza neglected by waste disposal lorries.
