The solution facilitates the collection and recycling of various kinds of waste to help mitigate global warming, which is taking its toll on the environment.

Zaidi Recyclers is a digital solution developed by a Tanzanian startup to facilitate waste collection in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

"E-waste pollutes soil and water once discarded in an inappropriate manner, but can also cause damage to human health and wellbeing including respiratory issues, oxidative stress, DNA damage and possibly causes various cancers," said Allen Kimambo, founder of Zaidi Recyclers.

Using its Android app, users ate their accounts, and anytime they have waste worth recycling, they can notify the startup. Whether it is electronic and electrical appliances, car batteries, waste paper and cardboard, glass bottles, or plastics, Zaidi is ready to recover them.

To increase its popularity, it ultimately plans to start paying users for the waste they help collect.

The startup claims over 2,200 waste containers collected and 700 tons of waste recycled. It estimates that its actions helped save 4,400 trees. Its ambition is to enter new cities like Dodoma, Arusha, etc, and even go international with Zambia, where it already has a partner.
