About WasteMate

Since 2016, we've been more than just a service — we've been Zimbabwe's partner in change. As the nation's leading waste management firm, WasteMate delivers world-class, eco-friendly solutions that protect our industries and preserve our environment.

Our Story

Engineering a Cleaner Future for Zimbabwe

We don't just manage waste; we're engineering a cleaner future for Zimbabwe.

What began as a small recycling operation in Harare has grown into the nation's leading waste management company serving tobacco estates, mining operations, healthcare facilities, commercial businesses, and residential communities across Zimbabwe.

Today, we offer end-to-end solutions spanning waste collection, hazardous disposal, recycling and recovery, carbon audits, ESG reporting, and environmental consulting. Our team of engineers, logistics specialists, and sustainability experts work together to protect communities, support industries, and build a cleaner future.
