Seven programmes, one mission: a cleaner Kasarani.
Door-to-Door Collection
Scheduled weekly pick-up across six Kasarani villages, with separate days for organic, recyclable and general waste.
WeeklyRecycling Education
Hands-on training in schools and estates on segregation, composting and the "3 Rs" — reduce, reuse, recycle.
Schools & estatesCommunity Clean-Ups
Monthly volunteer-led clean-ups of riverbanks, footpaths and informal dumpsites across Kasarani sub-county.
MonthlyPlastic Buy-Back
We pay residents per kilogram for clean, sorted plastic — turning household recycling into direct income.
Fixed daysWaste is a resource until someone fails to manage it.
Our mission is to make waste management in Kasarani reliable, dignified and community-owned — collecting, sorting and recycling household waste while creating local income and protecting public health.
We were registered as a Community Based Organization on 31 July 2024 (Reg. No. DSD/47/280/02/29970), formalising work that began as informal neighbourhood clean-ups. Every programme we run traces back to one belief: a cleaner Kasarani is built by the people who live in it.
