  Kenya’s Growing Waste Crisis and the Urgent Need for Change Kenya is generating more waste today than at any point in its history. Rapid urbanization, population growth, and increased consumption have significantly increased the volume of waste produced in cities such as Nairobi, Kiambu, Mombasa, and Kisumu. National estimates show that Kenya generates approximately 22,000 tonnes of waste every day, equivalent to nearly 8 million tonnes annually, yet less than 10% of that waste is recycled.

As the country moves toward sustainable development goals, recycling is no longer optional — it is essential. The Current State of Recycling in Kenya Recycling in Kenya is developing, but it is not yet fully structured at the household or estate level. Currently: Most recycling is driven by informal waste pickers. Waste segregation at source is still limited. Many estates lack designated recycling systems. Valuable recyclable...
