Local guidance

Kampala, Uganda

Kampala Capital City Authority uses municipal and contracted private services for solid-waste collection across service areas.

Collection and sorting guidance

Household collection

Use KCCA or the contracted collector assigned to the service area; confirm the current route and payment conditions.

Recycling and reuse

Use recognised recyclers and verified collection points for accepted dry materials.

Food and garden waste

Keep food and garden material separate where a collector or composting service confirms acceptance.

Special waste

Electronics, batteries, oils, chemicals, healthcare waste, bulky items and construction waste need an authorised route.

Before you dispose of an item

  • Check the official source for the exact address and collection day.
  • Confirm accepted materials, opening hours and access conditions before travelling.
