Its operations are largely in Kiambu County but also in the outskirts, such as Kenol (Muranga). The company is committed to sustainable waste management and seeks to gradually align its operations with the national government’s vision of transitioning from a linear waste management system to a circular economy. In a bid to enhance its efficiency, improve service delivery, and increase sustainability, Pracah Solution sought to develop a Waste Collection Optimization System (WCOS) in 2023, a project that was awarded to our company.
According to the Terms of Reference, the WCOS was to serve as a comprehensive tool for streamlining operations, leveraging recyclable waste to increase revenue, reducing costs through better route planning, and enhancing data-driven decision-making in waste collection and management
