Clean-Up Badagry Team

History has been made in Badagry with the opening of the first community-based recycling plant! This facility marks a significant step forward in our mission to transform waste management in the region.


How It Works


The recycling plant collects and processes recyclable materials including plastics, metals, and paper. Community members can bring their recyclables to designated collection points, and the plant processes them for sale to recycling markets.


Creating Green Jobs


The plant provides employment and training for local youth, turning waste management into a viable career path. Workers learn valuable skills in sorting, processing, and quality control that can be applied across the recycling industry.


Community Impact


Beyond creating jobs, the plant is helping to reduce the volume of waste going to landfills, decrease pollution in waterways, and shift community attitudes toward waste as a valuable resource rather than a problem.
