I was in Musanze on Thursday with a small team that collects waste from apartments and three hotels near the main market.
No big trucks. They run cargo bikes, sort on the curb, and the food waste goes straight into compost rows and black soldier fly bins behind their yard.
What stayed with me was the price. They sell a 50kg bag of organic fertiliser for about rwf 12,000 to potato farmers around Kinigi. That is about half the price of imported fertiliser in the shops.
Hotels give them the waste for free because it cuts their collection fees. Apartments pay a small monthly fee. It is not fancy tech, just timing and a serving your community.
Are you seeing other towns in Rwanda where the waste loop actually pays for itself like this?
