NEMA cited the three colours set to be used as green, blue and black dustbins.
The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has introduced a proposed colour coding format which Kenyans will be mandated to use to segregate waste in their homes.
In a notice issued on Wednesday, August 7, NEMA cited the three colours set to be used as green, blue and black dustbins.
In the proposal, Kenyan households and private sector entities will be required to use green-coloured waste bags and dustbins for organic waste, blue bins for recyclable waste, and black for general waste.
“Section 12 of the Sustainable Waste Management Act requires the Cabinet Secretary in consultation with the Authority and County Governments to Gazette the National Colour Coding System for waste management.
