Issues at Hand
- Residential waste collection is one of the biggest challenge in Africa today.
- The waste sector contributes greatly to climate change, and we are already at the verge of topping 1.5 degrees Centigrade. Residential waste collection seems impossible; in fact, it is the most difficult part for waste collectors to maintain.
- Despite the efforts waste collectors make, they are not still able to fulfil their temporary collection plans.
- They spend more time, energy, and resources, but it still seems impossible for them to collect all the residential waste.
- As result dustbins get full and overflow which becomes dangerous to the health (since it serves as a breeding ground for mosquitoes) and the climate (since that overflowing results to methane emissions).
