A group of environmental conservationists has embarked on a waste collection drive in Nairobi’s Kilimani.
The exercise, conducted by Kilimani Project Foundation on Saturday, saw residents deliver solid waste to various recycling companies that collect plastic bottles, papers, electronic and textile waste.
Emily Mutua said the Community Based Organisation brought together partners in solid waste management in the collection drive.
“The Kilicycle drive’s purpose is to get the community to dispose of their recyclable waste responsibility. We appreciate that there is waste that doesn’t have to get to the dumpsites because it can be reused,” said Mutua, adding that the exercise was conducted monthly.

“The Neighborhood Council system was established in 1999 to connect LA s diverse communities to City Hall. Neighborhood Council board members are volunteers, elected to office by the members of their community, with the purpose of ensuring that the diverse voices from every neighborhood are heard by City Hall.
