Ukusanyaji wa taka zilizotenganishwa unaendelea kuimarika Mbweni, huku wakusanya taka wakifika katika kaya mbalimbali kukusanya taka zilizotenganishwa na kuweka katika vitendo mfumo wa taka sifuri.

Wakati wa ukusanyaji, wakusanya taka wanaendelea kutoa mwongozo katika kaya kuhusu namna ya kutenganisha taka katika makundi manne yaliyopangwa. Utenganishaji huu unarahisisha kazi yao na kusaidia kuzuia aina mbalimbali za taka kuchanganyika. Pia, wanapima taka zote ili kuweza kurahisisha ufuatiliaji wa kiasi kinachokusanywa, na hivyo kupata taarifa muhimu kwa ajili ya kupanga na kusimamia mfumo wa ukusanyaji na uchakataji wa taka.

Kituo cha uchakataji taka (MRF) Mbweni kina makadirio ya uwezo wa kuhifadhi na kuchakata takribani tani 85 kwa kila mzunguko. Uwezo huu unajumuisha uchakataji wa taka ozo pamoja na uhifadhi wa taka zinazoweza kurejelezwa. Kituo hiki kimeundwa kuhudumia takribani kaya 3,000 na shughuli za biashara 400 katika Kata ya Mbweni, huku kikiwa na uwezo wa kufikia zaidi ya kaya 5,000 kitakapofanya kazi kwa uwezo wake kamili.

Kuanzia kaya, ukusanyaji hadi kituo cha uchakataji taka (MRF), mfumo huu unaunganisha wakazi na wakusanyaji taka katika kuhakikisha taka zinaendelea kutenganishwa na kusimamiwa ipasavyo.

Waste collection is taking shape in Mbweni, with collectors reaching households to collect separated waste and put the Zero Waste Model into practice.

During collection, waste collectors continue guiding households on how to separate waste into four designated groups, making their work easier and preventing different materials from getting mixed. They also weigh the waste to track the quantities collected, providing useful information for planning and managing the model.

The Mbweni MRF has an estimated storage and processing capacity of approximately 85 tonnes per cycle, covering organic waste processing and recyclable material storage. It is designed to serve around 3,000 households and 400 commercial establishments in Mbweni Ward, with potential to reach more than 5,000 households under full operational conditions.

From households to collection and the MRF, the system connects residents and waste collectors in keeping materials separated and properly managed.

Naibu Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wetu alitembelea Kituo uchakataji taka ( ) cha Mbweni ili kujifunza na kuona kwa vitendo namna mfumo wa taka sifuri unavyotekelezwa katika jamii.

Katika ziara hiyo, alitembezwa katika kituo hicho ili kufahamu muundo wake na namna maeneo mbalimbali yatakavyosaidia katika upokeaji, utunzaji na usimamizi wa taka zilizotenganishwa. Pia alikutana na wakusanyaji taka, ambapo kulikuwa na fursa ya kubadilishana uzoefu na kujifunza kwa pande zote kuhusu namna mfumo huu unavyofanya kazi katika ngazi ya jamii.

Baadaye, alishiriki pamoja na wakusanya taka kufika katika baadhi ya kaya kukusanya taka zilizotenganishwa. Wakati wa ukusanyaji, wakusanyaji waliendelea kutoa elimu kwa wanakaya kuhusu namna sahihi ya kutenganisha taka, jambo linalorahisisha shughuli ya ukusanyaji na kuwasaidia wanajamii kuelewa nafasi yao katika utekelezaji wa Mfumo wa .

Our Deputy Executive Director, Nicole Kapesi, visited the Mbweni MRF to learn and see firsthand how the model is being put into practice within the community.

During the visit, she was taken through the facility to understand how it is set up and how the different spaces will support the handling and management of separated waste. She also met with the waste collectors, creating an opportunity for two-way learning and exchange on how the system works at the community level.

She later joined the waste collectors as they reached some households to collect separated waste. Along the way, the collectors continued guiding residents on how to properly separate their waste, helping make the collection process easier and supporting communities to understand their role in the Zero Waste system.

Kabla ya kuanza shughuli za ukusanyaji, wakusanya taka walipatiwa mafunzo ya vitendo kuhusu namna ya kujaza fomu za takwimu ili kurekodi na kufuatilia kiasi cha taka kinachokusanywa. Taarifa hizi zitawasaidia kufuatilia shughuli za ukusanyaji na kupata uelewa wa kiasi cha taka kinachozalishwa na kukusanywa kutoka katika jamii.

Jukumu lao haliishii kwenye ukusanyaji wa taka pekee bali wataendelea kutoa elimu kwa kaya kuhusu namna sahihi ya kutenganisha taka kwenye chanzo, jambo litakalorahisisha ukusanyaji na kusaidia utenganishaji wa taka kuwa sehemu ya utaratibu wa kila siku wa jamii.

Taka zinapotenganishwa kwenye chanzo, taka za kikaboni zinaweza kukusanywa na kushughulikiwa ipasavyo badala ya kuchanganywa na aina nyingine za taka. Kuunganisha wakusanyaji wenye uelewa, jamii inayoshiriki, na takwimu sahihi kunasaidia kuufanya mfumo wa kuwa sehemu ya maisha ya kila siku.

In preparation for the collection activities, the waste collectors received practical training on how to record and track the amount of waste collected using data forms. This information will help them monitor collection activities and understand the volume of waste coming from the community.

Their role goes beyond collecting waste. They will continue guiding households on how to properly separate waste at the source, making collection easier while encouraging waste separation to become part of daily routines.

When waste is separated at the source, organic materials can be collected and managed appropriately instead of being mixed with other waste. Connecting informed collectors, engaged communities, and reliable data helps turn the model into everyday practice.

Kupitia programu hizi, mabalozi hawa wameshiriki katika shughuli za jamii, kutoa elimu na kuhamasisha jamii, kushiriki katika shughuli za utekelezaji, pamoja na kubadilishana maarifa na wengine. Ushiriki wao unaonesha umuhimu wa kuwapa vijana nafasi ya kujifunza kwa vitendo na kuwa sehemu ya suluhisho katika jamii zao.

Leo, tunawapongeza mabalozi wetu kwa mchango wao na kwa kuendelea kubadilisha maarifa kuwa vitendo.

The exhibition in Zanzibar concluded at the Dole grounds in Magharibi A District, where the guest of honour, Second Vice President of Zanzibar, Hon. Hemed Suleiman Abdulla, officially opened the exhibition on behalf of the President of Zanzibar.

Throughout the exhibition, waste collectors from Chumbuni (UTSC) and Kijitoupele (TASIKI), who are implementing the model in Zanzibar, engaged with visitors who visited their stand, sharing knowledge on proper waste management and highlighting how waste can be viewed not only as something to be discarded but as a resource that can be recovered and put to valuable use within the community.

One of the stories shared at their booths was the journey of food scraps into compost. Organic waste processed at their Material Recovery Facilities (MRF) is transformed into compost that can return nutrients to the soil and support crop production.

Visitors and various stakeholders had the opportunity to learn more about the Zero Waste Model and see how food scraps can be transformed into compost that supports farmers and contributes to agricultural production.
