The County Government of Kisumu has established six Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) to enhance waste management and reduce environmental pollution in the area.
Speaking during the launch of one of the facilities in Kondele, County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Water, Environment, Climate Change and Natural Resources Judith Oluoch said the state-of-the-art facilities have been equipped with modern shredders to ensure all segregated waste, including plastics, is recycled. "These are not dumping sites.
They are collection centers where residents and waste collectors will deliver sorted waste for recycling," Oluoch explained.
She emphasised that the initiative was not only a step toward environmental conservation but also a catalyst for job creation, especially for women and youth.
