This innovative system includes clearly labeled waste skips for organic and non-organic materials, simplifying the separation of waste collected from markets.<\/p>\n<p>Organic waste will go into designated bins, where pig farmers involved in the Wezesha Kirinyaga empowerment program will collect it. Meanwhile, residents will place plastics and paper bags into non-organic bins for recycling.<\/p>\n<p>During the program\u2019s launch, Governor Anne Waiguru stated that the initiative would decrease the amount of waste sent to landfills and help combat climate change. She explained that the new system will also reduce methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas released during the anaerobic decomposition of organic waste.<\/p>\n<p>Waiguru announced the acquisition of 44 new skips, which have been distributed to urban centers to enhance garbage collection.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThey have been placed in major towns such as Kerugoya, Kutus, Kagio, Sagana, and Wang\u2019uru, among others,\u201d<\/em> she said.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-318929\" alt=\"\" width=\"818\" height=\"518\"  data-lazy- src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/kirinyaga.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-318929\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/kirinyaga.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"818\" height=\"518\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the county has obtained two garbage trucks, one backhoe, and one skip loader to further improve garbage collection efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Waiguru, who also serves as chairperson of the Council of Governors, emphasized her administration\u2019s commitment to adopting climate-resilient programs to mitigate climate change effects.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWith the rising population and the expansion of towns, we have seen an increase in businesses driven by a vibrant agricultural economy.
