TRASH FOR CASH
Our project is base on a trash for cash innovation, a situation whereby people get paid for their waste. Waste has become a menace to the society in that they tend to cause lots of hazards that are detrimental to human health and the environment. We came up with a perfect plan to ensure a trash (waste) free environment.
Firstly, the government would create an enabling environment where private investors can come in and establish recycling machines and end users can bring their trash (waste) in exchange for cash (money), in this way, trash for cash system will ensure
employment opportunity, healthy environment, new products through recycling.
