About Us
We're building the most accessible infrastructure for a circular economy, where waste becomes opportunity and sustainability drives prosperity.
Our Story
EcoLyft started as a frustration; from flooded streets, overflowing waste drums, and a littered environment that had become “normal”. Then during a church career development program, there was a kairos moment. What if waste could be valued?
That single thought set me on a path of research and discovery. I found that 97% of the world’s population does not know waste can be recycled or reused; nor do they realize the damage improper waste disposal causes to our environment and ecosystem.
From that moment, EcoLyft was born. Our mission is simple yet urgent: give the Earth life by making recycling accessible and profitable for both the people and the planet.
Founded in 2025, we began by offering convenient plastic waste pickups for households and businesses because recycling should not be a burden.
- For homes, EcoLyft means rewards and incentives for consistent recycling.
- For businesses, it is measurable CSR impact and ethical recognition.
- For communities, it is a clean, green, and healthy city.
But this is only the beginning. EcoLyft is building the infrastructure for a circular economy where resources flow efficiently, communities prosper, and environmental impact is minimized through innovation and transparency.
Where We're Going
- Expand to 20+ cities by 2026
- Create 1000+ green jobs
- Process 1M+ Tons of plastic waste annually
- Achieve carbon neutrality by 2030
- Empower communities through education and engagement

MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER
At EcoLyft, we believe waste isn’t just a problem — it’s potential waiting to be unlocked.
What started as a simple idea to make recycling easier and more rewarding has grown into a mission to build Africa’s most accessible circular economy infrastructure. Our focus is clear: to turn everyday plastic waste into value — cash for people, feedstock for industry, and progress for the planet.
Every pickup, every bale, every flake we recycle moves us closer to a future where sustainability isn’t an aspiration, but an accessible reality for everyone.
We are not just cleaning up waste — we are rebuilding how value is created, exchanged, and sustained across communities. This is the foundation of EcoLyft: a world where recycling becomes not just a habit, but an economic force where sustainability itself becomes currency.
Join us on this journey. Together, we are proving that with the right systems and purpose, waste can truly power growth.
