About TrashDrop

What is TrashDrop?

TrashDrop is Ghana's leading mobile waste management platform, by Infobrix Limited. The product was co-founded by Otis Apaloo (Operations Lead & Co-founder), Simone Fuga (CEO & Co-founder), Xose Ahlijah (CTO & Co-founder). TrashDrop operates a Progressive Web App — accessible at trashdrops.com with no app store download required — that connects households and businesses in Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi and Tamale with a network of over 480 ID-verified waste collectors. The platform processes more than 3,400 pickup requests monthly, has achieved a 98%+ completion rate, and diverts over 55 tonnes of waste from Ghanaian landfills every month. Collectors earn an average of ₵32.43 per completed pickup, paid directly to their mobile money wallet. TrashDrop is raising a Series A round to expand across Ghana and into Lagos and Abidjan.

Our Mission

Eliminate waste dumping from Ghanaian communities

Ghana generates over 12 million tonnes of solid waste annually, with less than 60% collected in urban areas. Uncollected waste ends up in illegal dump sites, drainage channels, and waterways — contaminating drinking water and spreading disease.

TrashDrop's approach is simple: make waste collection easier to request than illegal dumping. By connecting households directly with verified collectors, providing real-time GPS tracking, and rewarding good behaviour with points, we change the economics of waste disposal in Ghana.

Verified Collectors
Every collector is ID-checked, vehicle-verified, and operationally licenced before they join the platform.
Authorised Disposal
Waste is delivered only to sites with valid Ghana EPA environmental permits. No illegal dumping in the chain.
Reward-Based System
Users earn points for pickups and dumping reports. Collectors earn bonuses and recycling revenue shares.
