More than 50% of Nairobi’s waste does not get collected and less than 10% gets recycled. This causes environmental and health problems for everyone.

Taka Taka Solutions are trying to change the way people think about waste and change the current situation for the better.

This is done by collecting waste from households, businesses and factories and taking it to decentralized sorting sites where it is sorted into more than 40 fractions.
