“All waste is useful, no need for landfills”
RERU slogan
What we've built and done
Since 2015, we have turned ideas into real, measurable results on the ground in Nsasa Estate.
Collect municipal household waste within residential estates in Nsasa Estate
Reuse biodegradable waste for feeding Black Soldier Flies and earthworms — producing manure and animal feeds
Train Nsasa Estate community households on waste sorting and segregation
Design and custom-build recycling and incineration equipment: PET bottle crusher, bio-degradable chopper, incinerator
Sort and segregate non-biodegradable waste into recyclables (metal, plastic, glass), sanitary waste, and e-waste
Design and build a digital solution to facilitate on-site garbage collection tracking
Our vision for the future
We want to see communities that sort and separate garbage at home, in schools, and workplaces. Collectors picking up the sorted garbage at different times or using different trucks. We envision a world where all garbage is handled responsibly — a reusable resource, regardless of one's location.
