Waste piling up. Unreliable handling. Streets deserve better — CleanUp.

Making waste management accessible, affordable, and accountable for every household.

Many households rely on children or untrusted collectors, leaving waste in the wrong places. CleanUp connects residents with trusted tricycle owners, ensuring waste reaches proper dump sites.

The Problem

Waste mishandled. Streets unsafe. Communities left without a solution.

Waste left on streets and improper disposal

In Sierra Leone, households face a tough choice: rely on children to carry waste or turn to untrusted collectors, often drug addicts, who dump waste in the wrong places. Streets, rivers, and open areas become polluted, and public health is at risk.

Tricycle owners, while trusted, are not always accessible to every home, and services can be costly. Some households can afford them, some cannot — leaving gaps in the system that create chaos and environmental hazards.

This fragmented setup leaves families stressed, neighborhoods unsanitary, and city authorities struggling to manage waste. The current process is unorganized, unsafe, and unsustainable.

Communities deserve a system that is trustworthy, accessible, and efficient — a solution that ensures waste goes where it should, without relying on unsafe shortcuts.

Solution

Turning waste management chaos into a coordinated digital service—empowering communities, creating jobs, and cleaning up cities the smart way.
