Smart waste management in Africa

Fill-level sensing and route planning that cut truck trips and stop overflowing bins. Built for Africa, with AJEEVI AI, IoT and software.

The challenge in Africa

Bins overflow while trucks run fixed routes, wasting fuel, time and public goodwill.

Why it matters locally

Rapid urban growth strains waste services, and fill-level data helps small fleets focus on the places that need collection most.

Typical places: Lagos, Nairobi, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Kigali and Accra.

What AJEEVI delivers

Smart waste management on the same AI, IoT and command center stack used across every AJEEVI solution.

01

How it works

  • Fill-level sensors report how full each bin or container is
  • Route planning builds daily collection runs from real levels
  • Vehicle tracking confirms each stop was served
  • Reports show cost per tonne and overflow by area
02

Measure the results

Track these after go-live:

  • Overflow incidents
  • Truck trips per week
  • Fuel used per tonne
  • Missed collection complaints

Built for Africa

African cities are growing fast, often with patchy power and connectivity, limited maintenance budgets, and strong demand for solutions that are affordable, rugged and quick to roll out.

  • Solar and battery powered devices that keep working through grid outages
  • Low bandwidth designs with local buffering when connectivity drops
  • Compliance planning for laws such as POPIA in South Africa, the Kenya Data Protection Act and the Nigeria Data Protection Act
  • Phased rollouts that start small and grow as budgets allow
  • Mobile first citizen channels, including SMS and WhatsApp style reporting

Standards and regulations vary by country, city and project. AJEEVI works with your team to confirm which apply before design starts.
