• This strategy through its objectives

and targets have spelt out

measures needed for the country to attain the Zero

Waste Principal

1. Where are we now? (Current situation)

2. Where do we want to go? (the preferred state)

3. How do we get there? (The strategy)

1. Where are we now? (Current situation)

• Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika and Mombasa

• Current Waste Management Practices in these municipalities were;

• Waste operation areas are zoned

• Only dumpsites exist – manned during the day

• Partially fenced with only one un serviced machinery, motorable roads

• No segregation of waste – only done at disposal site; Poor collection systems

Current situation

Bad and good practices

2. Where do we want to go? (The preferred state)

80% waste recovery and only 20% landfilling in a Sanitary landfills

50% waste recovery and

50% semi-landfilling

30% waste recovery and

70% controlled dumping

Zero waste principal by; Full resource recovery from waste hence creating wealth, employment, and reducing pollution to the environment
