James Odongo explored how community policing can help combat illegal dumping and improve waste management in Kenya. The "Nyumba Kumi" model can promote responsible waste disposal, as effective management relies on public participation. Nairobi generates 4,000 metric tonnes of waste daily, with 25% ending up in the environment. Initiatives like the Nyumba Kumi Environmental Protection Initiative can empower communities to self-regulate waste, ensuring cleaner neighborhoods.
Holding waste producers accountable could further reduce pollution and boost circularity, emphasizing the need for grassroots action and policy support.
