Taka Taka Solutions

Taka Taka Solutions

Taka Taka Solutions is an integrated waste management company in Nairobi that collects, sorts, recycles, and composts waste -recovering up to 95% of the material it handles, compared to the near-zero formal recovery rate across most of Nairobi’s waste stream. The company serves homes, apartments, offices, restaurants, schools, shopping malls, factories, and hospitals with scheduled collection and sorting services, and operates vertically integrated processing for plastics (shredding into flakes and optional pelletising), organic waste (composting), and residual waste (controlled incineration). For property developers and facility managers, Taka Taka offers a single-contract solution for construction and operational waste management with auditable diversion data.
