EcoPick (U) Limited

Waste management and environmental conservation
2021 SEED Low Carbon Award Waste Management Mbale, Uganda

EcoPick uses mobile stations to provide affordable garbage collection services to the urban poor of Mbale city. It charges $1.5 a month. Currently, it operates a garbage truck where subscribed residents living within walkable distances are able to deliver their garbage for disposal. Paper, plastic and metal waste are separated and sold to different buyers at small prices. Food waste is disposed of at the designated municipal compositing.

EcoPick’s target is to build permanent collection stations (EcoDumps), which will reduce 68% of operation costs and enable the enterprise to reduce its monthly collection fee to $1 a month – translating to greater revenue and impact.
