Waste can be seen everywhere in Nepal's main cities. Nepal has never developed a comprehensive waste management system that looks beyond just collecting and dumping waste. In the absence of bins, people just dump the waste on the streets. Kathmandu Valley generates 800 tons of solid waste every day out of which more than 60% is still organic, and which could technically be composted. But trash doesn't only accumulate in Kathmandu. Nepal's rural areas are becoming affected as well.
We depend on organizations like Clean up Nepal to protect our green environment from the impacts of pollutants and trash.
Clean up Nepal organization connects, educates and empowers people on sustainable waste management and sanitation through a people centered strength based approach to improve community health, wellbeing and opportunity.
Clean up Nepal is committed to improving solid waste management systems in Nepal by:
Working in partnership with communities to address basic solid waste management issues such as haphazard littering and improved community waste management;
Educating and training youth, students and the wider community on issues of solid waste management including household waste segregation, recycling, composting and greater awareness of consumption patterns;
Leading a movement of like-minded people with strong values and a passion for improved solid waste management within Nepal and overseas.
