National Sustainable Waste Management Policy

National Sustainable Waste Management Policy
February, 2021

This Policy aims to create an enabling regulatory environment for Kenya to effectively tackle the waste challenge by implementing sustainable, waste management that prioritizes waste minimization and contributes to a circular economy. Practically, this can be achieved through the adoption of a waste hierarchy that includes reducing or preventing waste generation at the source and reuse of materials; effective and affordable waste collection in all neighborhoods, where waste is to be separated at source ensuring that recyclable materials are not contaminated by or mixed with waste.
