Recycling Rewards (Trash2Cash)
Problem: Piles of uncollected waste clog Nigerian cities, creating health hazards and eyesores due to poor waste management systems.
Solution: Trash2Cash incentivizes recycling by offering cash rewards for sorted waste drop-offs, transforming trash into a community-driven cleanup and income opportunity.
How It Works:
- Drop-off points for plastic/paper set up in neighborhoods.
- App tracks contributions of sorted waste from users.
- Payments (e.g., 1-2% of waste value) for each drop-off.
- Collected waste sold to recyclers for profit.
- Communities compete for cleanup bonuses, tracked transparently.
Who It’s For: Residents tired of litter, recyclers needing materials.
Why It’s Cool: It could clean up 60% of urban waste while putting cash in people’s pockets.
Execution Hint: Launch in a major urban area with waste management firms and local councils to kickstart a cleaner Nigeria.
