Wastedump

Wastedump is a web and mobile-based application that provides an ehailng facility for reclaiming separated recyclable waste.

Individuals and entities that produce waste (Waste Generators) can now send a request for the collection of their separated recyclable waste through the application, whence a reclaimer will respond for collection. The quantities are agreed between the waste generator and reclaimer at collection. The Waste Generator is paid for the waste collected from them free of charge.

Waste dealers and recyclers now have a platform in which they place orders for bulk recyclable waste requirements.

The Wastedump system enables reclaimers to collect a wider range of waste and substantially more. For instance, waste reclaimers can now collect Paper, Cardboard, Newsprint and Magazines, Glass, Glass Bottles, Plastics (All 7 Categories, including Shopping Plastic Bags), Metals, Cartons, E-Waste, Textiles, Cooking Oil, Food Waste, Bones, Garden Waste, Waste Oil, Oil Filters, Cylinders, Tryes, Batteries, Construction and Demolition Waste and etc.

Wastedump aims to increase the rate of recycled material from the current 10% to above 20% of total waste. More waste collected for recycling means;

• Less waste goes to landfill
• Decreased illegal dumping and littering
• An expansion of the waste management sector
• A burgeoning ecosystem that creates business and employment opportunities
• Improved work circumstances for all involved in the sector
• etc
