The Nairobi County Government has significantly boosted its daily waste collection capacity, increasing it from 1,000 tonnes to over 4,000 tonnes since April, as part of a major clean-up initiative targeting illegal dumpsites.

• Over 40 major waste collection points and illegal dumping sites have been cleared across the city's 17 sub-counties.
• Key figures involved include Governor Johnson Sakaja and the Nairobi County Government, in partnership with private firms like Zoomlion.
• The intensified effort has deployed more than 100 garbage collection trucks on a round-the-clock schedule, with the capacity to collect up to 6,000 tonnes of waste daily during peak operations.
