Turning Everyday Waste into Everyday Wisdom
Waste isn’t just what we throw away—it’s what we overlook, misunderstand, and often mismanage. At Urban Pulse Nepal, we believe that the story of waste is the story of our cities. This page is a space to explore that story through lived experiences, community data, and citizen voices.
📍 Why This Matters
Nepal’s urban centers face growing challenges in waste segregation, composting, and e-waste disposal. Through our collaboration with Green Smith Nepal, we’ve collected insights from households, informal workers, and municipalities to understand what’s working—and what’s not.
📊 What We’re Learning
- Many households still mix organic and inorganic waste due to lack of awareness or infrastructure
- Informal waste workers play a critical role but remain under-recognized
- E-waste is rising, but safe disposal options are limited
- Composting is gaining traction, but needs better community support
