Kumasi, once known as the Garden City of West Africa, has been facing serious environmental degradation due to rapid urbanization, increasing population, and inadequate waste management infrastructure. The KKC Trash Bin Initiative seeks to restore Kumasi’s beauty and environmental integrity by installing 60,000 eco-friendly trash bins throughout the city. These bins will be placed every 20 meters to encourage proper waste disposal and reduce the amount of litter that pollutes our streets, waterways, and public spaces.

Eco-Friendly Trash Bins
- Made from durable, recyclable materials
- Resistant to harsh weather conditions.
- Strategically labeled for easy identification and usage. ensuring residents and visitors can dispose of their waste correctly
Strategic Placement
With a bin placed every 20 meters, we aim to make waste disposal as convenient as possible for all residents, businesses, and visitors in Kumasi. Whether you’re walking down a busy street, visiting a market, or relaxing in a park, you’ll always find a nearby bin to properly dispose of your waste.
Recycling and Waste Segregation
Our bins are color-coded to facilitate waste segregation.
- Green bins are for organic waste,
- Yellow bins for recyclable materials like plastics, and
- Red bins for general waste.
Youth Employment and Community Involvement
As part of this project, KKC will employ and train local youth to monitor, maintain, and manage the trash bins. These individuals will ensure the bins are emptied regularly, the surroundings are clean, and collected waste is properly processed. This creates much-needed job opportunities while engaging the community in the fight against waste pollution.
Public Awareness and Engagement
Keep Kumasi Clean is committed to raising public awareness about the importance of proper waste disposal, recycling, and environmental stewardship. Through school programs, community workshops, and media campaigns, we aim to educate Kumasi residents on how their actions directly impact the environment.
Significant Reduction
in Littering
By making trash bins more accessible, we expect to see a dramatic decrease in the amount of litter found in public spaces, markets, and along roadsides. Cleaner environments will lead to healthier, more pleasant communities.
Healthier Urban
Spaces
Reducing waste accumulation in streets and public areas will decrease the spread of diseases, improve air and water quality, and reduce the presence of harmful pollutants in the ecosystem. Increased Recycling Rates
Increased Recycling Rates
Our waste segregation, aim to increase recycling rates across Kumasi. This will not only reduce the strain on local landfills but also create opportunities for local businesses involved in recycling and waste management.
