ABOUT US

Unsorted waste is a major problem in Kathmandu. Only a fraction of collected waste is recycled, which means more than 60% of recyclable materials end up in landfills, rivers, dump sites or burned. This not only affects the environment and the people who live around these places but also brings a high risk of disease.

We are among Nepal’s first commercial waste management companies and since our establishment in 1994, we have been working tirelessly to effectively manage household solid waste with the cooperation from the Department of Environment & Waste Management of Kathmandu Metropolitan City.
