TrashSmart, founded in 2021 and based in Kumasi, Ghana, is a waste management company focused on sustainability and technology. The company provides tech-driven waste management solutions for residential homes, schools, and other organizations primarily within Ghana.
The core of its service is a user-friendly mobile application that allows clients to schedule waste pickups at their convenience, offering both one-time and recurring service options. This system is designed to optimize collection routes, which helps reduce fuel consumption and the overall environmental impact. TrashSmart's business model is centered on a "trash-to-cash" principle, viewing waste as a valuable resource. The company offers various waste management packages and also educates individuals and institutions on the importance of waste segregation for materials like plastics and organic waste. Collected plastics are used in construction projects, while other materials such as e-waste, metals, paper, and fabrics are sent to partner recycling hubs. The company also sells eco-friendly products like biodegradable bags and bins made from recycled plastics through its e-shop.
In June 2023, TrashSmart received $44.4K in funding from the UNICEF StartUp Lab accelerator program.
