Waste Insure community collection
Waste Insure

Your plastic cooks your meals

A community insurance model: bring back plastic, earn cooking credits, and protect your household from fuel-price shocks while cleaning your neighbourhood.

How it protects you

Four pillars, one circular promise

Plastic = credit

Bring back any plastic — sorted or unsorted, washed or unwashed — and earn cooking credits at the hub.

Fuel-price protection

Locked-in conversion rates shield households from charcoal and LPG market spikes.

Community routes

Paid neighbourhood collectors, schools and SACCOs run weekly pickup routes.

Audited diversion

Every kilo is weighed, tagged and traceable from collection to SFRET reactor.

Conversion rates

Transparent rates. Locked for 12 months.

Who runs the routes

300+ paid jobs across collectors, sorters & hub staff

Waste Insure is operated by a network of trained, paid collectors — youth groups, women's SACCOs and informal waste workers — across Kampala, Wakiso and Mukono. Over 20 tonnes of plastic per day is diverted from drains, wetlands and landfills.

Communities, schools and vendors can register a route, host a drop-off point or sponsor a neighbourhood collection day.
