Reclaim Our Beaches
Transparent Chennai
India’s five largest cities generate more than 25,000 tons of municipal solid waste everyday.
Over 3/4th of this waste is collected and disposed off non-scientifically, in open landfills.
Can we use design & technologyto solve this problem?
Kabadiwalla Connect is an information service that helps you handle your recyclable waste responsibly.
We connect you to your local scrap-dealer, and track how much waste is being recycled in your neighbourhood.
