Informal Waste Service Providers

 

We Rise by lifting Others; Call for support (Request for Funding) 

Informed by their job descriptions they go beyond call of duty to ensure we live in habitable environment or carry out our business activities in conducive environment, by mobbing out waste (all streams) domiciled in different locations, 

They repatriate waste using different waste channels and for further value additions. Through such they also contribute to decarburization of the environment by rechanneling different waste valuable streams (ie R0 Refuse, R1 Rethink, R2 Reduce, R3 Reuse, R4 Repair, R5 Refurbish, R6 Remanufacture, R7 Repurpose, R8 Recycle and R9 Recover) back into circulation (as raw materials). By doing this they create new revenue streams, employment opportunities, help businesses (waste producers) reduce their carbon footprints. They are our last mile, in waste management in sustainable way.
