The Problem
indiscriminate waste disposal
Improper waste disposal leads to pollution, decomposition of organic waste produces methane, a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. Leachates from landfills contaminate soil, underground water, nearby rivers, which poses risk to human health. Again, poor waste management contributes to the spread of cholera, typhoid and malaria. Poor waste disposal affects the aesthetic of the city. Inadequate waste management leads to economic losses, hinder economic growth and development, and limit job creation opportunities in the sector. These problems are initiated by improper waste disposal that require urgent solution.
Our Solution
Integrated waste management solution
At Alamonk Recyclers we offer a comprehensive waste management solution that is niched on culture, communication and collection. Our solution addresses the environmental, health, and economic challenges posed by poor waste management. We tackle the unwritten culture of indiscriminate waste disposal by engaging in community sensitization using word of mouth, print and electronic media. We have collection clusters that encourage households to drop off their segregated waste at different points. We collect and recycle municipal solid waste for a clean and healthy environment. We acknowledge the role of informal collectors and urban miners in recycling, and we provide personal protective equipment for them and ensure they get best possible values from their efforts. We partner with the government and private sector for effective waste management policies and advocacy.
