Wastedump Mobile Application
Here is how the system works for all stakeholders
What problem justifies the wastedump solution?
-
Waste is still regarded as such and not enough value is holistically attached to it.
-
A critical player in the waste value chain (The Waste Generator) is not substantively included in the design of solutions
-
Waste is reactively recovered after immense contamination and that drives up the cost of recovery and effectiveness in doing so
-
Separation at source, the most necessary ingredient of waste management, is minimal
-
Current waste management business models may be inadequate for an importunateness of the problem
-
Waste Data, though improving, is still not adequately classified, comprehensive or precise enough
-
Recycling efforts have not attained the deserved respect and dominance in our collective thoughts
-
Waste collectors are forced to illegally forage landfills and dangerously so to earn a living
How does the Wastedump investment system work?
-
Individual and Institutional users sign up onto our mobile application
-
A user selects to be any of the following
-
A waste generator
-
A waste sorter
-
A waste collector
-
A ward sponsor
-
A waste dealer
-
A waste Recycler
-
-
The ward purchased details are linked to the sponsor who purchased revenue rights to that ward​
-
Waste generators specify in which ward they are located. This is how we know which ward sponsor must be paid each time waste is collected from the specific user.​
-
The waste generator submits a collection request through the app at anytime they have enough separated waste to recycle​
-
The waste collector responds to the collection request
-
The waste generator and collector will weigh/count and agree on the volume/quantity of waste being collected (mobile scales used)
-
The waste generators account is credited automatically with their share of the value of waste collected
-
The ward sponsor's account is credited automatically with their share of the selling price
-
The waste collector's account is debited with the value of the waste collected
-
When the waste collector sells the waste to the dealer or recycler, his account is credited with the value of the waste
-
Waste sorters are used in special circumstances where the waste generator has large quantities of waste which must be sorted and separated first before a request is be made for a collection
-
The system keeps records of all quantities that move through from cradle to destination
-
Waste generators know their waste history and by class of and this information can be queried at will
-
All users can withdraw the funds on their account at their discretion, subject to minimum withdrawal limits
-
The waste selling price is shared as follows:
-
Waste Generators receive 40% of the selling price of the waste​
-
Waste Sorters receive 5% of the waste (where applicable)
-
Waste Collectors receive 40% of the selling price of the waste
-
Ward Sponsors receive 5% of the selling price of the waste
-
Wastedump receives between 10% and 15% of the selling price of the waste
-
