This project’s aim was assessing the effectiveness of these bins in waste separation. Data was collected through weighing of the waste found in the bins and questionnaires were also administered to the members of the public in an effort to assess their view of this initiative. The findings showed that many people in the Central business unit preferred to use the triple bins in waste disposal. However, there was very minimal separation of waste into their respective bins. The findings were shared with the County Government of Nairobi and recommendations proposed to enable the County to improve in its waste management practices.
Waste management is increasingly becoming a major challenge in Kenya due to increasing human population and rise of urban centers. Nairobi city being the major City in Kenya has to deal with the challenges that comes about with solid waste by coming up with innovative ideals of waste collection, separation, processing and recycling. One of the innovative ideas of separating waste is the Triple Bin initiative that is an initiative of the County Government of Nairobi. This initiative is however spreading to other towns like Kisumu, Mombasa and Nakuru.
