Why TrashIQ Built for Kenya’s circular economy
Counties, CBOs, collectors, processors, even donors - everyone needs to prove that material moved, who moved it, and where. TrashIQ becomes that shared layer of truth.
Informal or community collectors are doing pickups daily, but it’s not attributed to them. No attribution → no credit → no better payout.
Groups collect in WhatsApp, sheets, and voice notes - hard to aggregate, hard to export, hard to pitch to partners.
County and ward teams struggle to see community contributions. That weakens ESG, EPR, and climate finance proposals.
TrashIQ doesn’t just help collectors. It creates verifiable data that upstream and downstream actors can reuse - without re-keying and without chasing reports.
Every pickup is tied to a person. That means trackable tonnage, earnings history, and confidence to ask for better terms.
Pull all members into one view. Show who is active, how much was collected this month, and export that to partners.
Get a real-time view of what’s being collected by non-county actors - by ward, by route, by group.
Know where material came from, who brought it in, and in what state - so you can reduce contamination and reward the right source.
If you’re paying for take-back, you want to know it really happened. TrashIQ links post-consumer waste to locations, people, and dates.
Fund what is measurable. See beneficiary-level records, before/after impact, and how much material actually moved through the network.
Designed for Kenya’s realities
TrashIQ assumes your data might start in the field, on a phone, on a bad network, and sometimes via a CBO manager. So we make capture light, attribution automatic, and reporting centralized.
