Small act, big impact. If we all just returned the plastic bottles and other non-biogradable wastes that we create everyday to the right recycling channel, our streets will be cleaner, drainage freeer for water flow and our brains will be healthier due to the cleaner air.

Wastes left unrecycled but trashed indiscriminately, find their way into our drainage ways, block the drainages & expose us to worse flooding risk. OR They end up burnt in open dumps, releasing black carbon that suffocates oxygen in the air & depletes the brain's function.

Nigeria is experiencing a recycling revolution. This time, we are influencing behaviour at source. At home, in schools, workplaces, markets, and most especially in our consciousness. Don't be left out. Locate the closest recycling station near you or request a doorstep pickup.

Yes, the recycling machine is in Abuja, Nigeria. It's an EcoBarter reverse vending machine that rewards cash for plastics, launched in 2024 as the first in West Africa.

This is the problem right here. For once, Why don’t you look past the money?! You’ve been living fine before this . The main goal behind the initiative is to encourage people not to litter the streets, gutters and canals for a cleaner environment.
