Their efforts enhance the recycling sector and pave the way for a greener, more sustainable future.
M-taka’s initiatives in waste management
TakaTaka Solutions is not alone in making strides in waste recycling and management. Kisumu-based M-taka has also been working closely with stakeholders and the government to ensure proper handling of household waste.
Recently, the start-up joined the Kisumu County City Department of Environment, led by City Manager Abala M. Wanga and other stakeholders, in a thorough cleanup at Maendeleo Market.
Through a waste decongestion initiative, the City Department of Environment aims to decongest accumulated waste within the County, ensuring consistent waste collection at various strategic points.
The initiative targets key locations, including Kibuye, Riat, Chiga, Mamboleo, Manyatta, Obunga, Pap Mbuta, Car Wash, Kosawo, Kondele, Nyalenda, and Wathorego.
“As we join in implementing this impactful initiative, M-taka remains committed to advocating for proper and sustainable waste management practices,” M-taka shared in a LinkedIn post.
