WasteAid
Our vision is a world with equal access to waste services for all.
Helping communities and governments manage their waste properly is vital if we are to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Waste management has a powerful and positive impact on people’s well-being.
Our mission – fighting poverty, pollution and climate change
Around 1 in 3 people globally don’t have decent waste management. Pollution caused by waste harms people’s health and the environment and damages the local economy. In contrast, an affordable waste management system is relatively simple to implement, improving the environment, creating jobs and protecting public health – particularly for children.
Plastic pollution in the marine environment is of major global concern, and WasteAid is helping tackle this global problem. We work with upstream and coastal communities to set up small recycling centres and help keep plastic out of rivers and the oceans. We also share skills in managing organic waste, helping people make the most with their resources.
Open dumping and burning of waste releases climate change emissions, contribute to both short-term and long-term impacts. Black soot from burning and methane from open dumping are of special concern. We offer communities a safe and sustainable alternative to dangerous dumpsites and toxic air pollution.
Our values
Our founding principles come from our origins in the waste management industry, which itself grew out of the public health movement in the UK in the late Victorian era. We believe in equality of access to decent public health for all people and advocate the role of good waste management to achieve this. We are inclusive and empowering of the communities in developing countries that we seek to serve and support. We believe in the power of appropriate technology transfer, training and skills development to create livelihoods and reduce pollution.

Inspire and inform communities and individuals who want to improve how waste is managed in their communities and encourage them to act.
