Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
You can register by visiting signup.taka.earth or through the mobile app and selecting sign up.
Taka Earth uses your address to match you to the closest bin for convinience of dropping your recyclables.
We currently do provide smartbins in different locations.
The smartbin identifies waste types when you drop an item and awards customers a point for every item dropped in as long as it's a plastic bottle, glass bottle or can.
Taka Earth has different recycling partners for the different waste types that we capture through the smart bins. PET goes to T3, LPDE goes to Boredo, Glass goes to Bottle Logistics, Cans are recycled by Munga Cans & Metal Scraps Enterprise and other partners.
A Taka Earth registered user can redeem their points through the mobile app or the USSD code *711*12# and selecting the redeem option.
Quickmart is our current drop off and redeeming partner with the view of expanding to shops this year.
Taka Earth processes each drop off against a phone number and we would therefore require the parents to be involved for us to capture the recyclables data. We are working on a way to ensure parents have consented.
We are currently only redeeming with Quickmart but we are working on expanding the list of shops as we grow.
The smart bins currently cover Nairobi county.
Taka Earth makes money from offering an extended producer responsibility (EPR) service to consumer goods companies to capture post coonsumer waste and report on their sustainability while creating a direct relationship with the consumers.
