Compostable waste collection in Kenya
Collect suitable organic material for an identified composting operator under applicable requirements.

Fictional pilot: collect source-separated vegetable preparation offcuts from three nearby kitchens, one 40 L lidded bin each, on two agreed rounds; deliver only to an identified processor that has accepted those exact materials. No meat, oils, packaging, chemicals or unverified compostability claims.
