♻️ CleanPadi

Waste less. Earn more. Clean Ilorin together.

CleanPadi is an inclusive, community-powered waste management platform built for Ilorin, Kwara State. It bridges the gap between formal/informal waste collectors and residents across all income levels by operating across three interfaces: Web, WhatsApp, and USSD.

🌟 The Problem

In Ilorin, municipal solid waste management is deeply fragmented. While high-income areas have access to private PSP operators, over 60% of the city relies on unregulated cart pushers, open burning, or drainage dumping. Existing waste-tech startups in Nigeria (like Pakam, Wecyclers) are heavily Lagos-centric and require smartphones—leaving out a massive demographic.

💡 The Solution

CleanPadi is the first digitized waste platform in Ilorin, designed not to replace the informal cart pushers, but to serve as the operating system that supercharges them.

Core Features:

• 🚛 On-Demand Pickup: Match with verified local agents for general waste pickup.
• 💰 Cash4Trash: A buy-back scheme where residents earn cash or airtime for separated recyclables (PET bottles, sachets, cans).
• 🗺️ DumpAlert: A community crowdfunding map to report and finance the clearance of illegal dumpsites and blocked drainages.
• 📱 USSD Inclusion: Full service accessibility via *347*7723# for feature-phone users without internet access.
