Recently, I paid a visit to Thika town and decided to pass by my favourite garden, the Christina Wangari gardens to revel in it's beauty and pass a moment there as I waited for a friend. I was awestruck to find out that the gardens had been fitted with waste segregation bins. I recall writing a letter to the Kiambu County government to act on this and though it has taken them eons, they finally did it.
I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation for your initiative in installing waste segregation bins in Christina Wangari Gardens. This thoughtful action demonstrates your commitment to environmental sustainability and sets a commendable example for other regions to follow.

These bins—clearly marked for organic waste, cans and bottles, and others—are more than just receptacles for trash. They represent a significant step toward better waste management and environmental conservation. By encouraging the public to sort their waste correctly, you are fostering a culture of recycling and responsible disposal. This not only reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills but also promotes the recycling of materials, which is crucial in conserving natural resources and reducing pollution.


The presence of these bins in a public space like Christina Wangari Gardens also raises awareness about the importance of waste segregation. It serves as a constant reminder to residents and visitors alike that protecting the environment starts with small, everyday actions. This awareness is the first step towards more significant behavioral changes that benefit our planet.

I urge you to consider expanding this initiative. More bins in other parks, towns, and public spaces within Kiambu County would greatly enhance the impact of this program. Easy access to proper waste disposal options encourages people to participate actively in keeping their surroundings clean. Moreover, it shows that the county is taking proactive measures to address waste management issues, which can inspire other regions to adopt similar practices.

Your efforts are truly appreciated, and I look forward to seeing more of such positive steps towards making Kiambu a cleaner, greener place for all its residents.

@tabitha_kimani Absolutely, we all would like to see more climate awareness forums conducted in their usual county events and plans. It helps more people learn about climate change and how to beat it too

What a great move by the county government of Kiambu for segregating waste...this will come in hand in that waste that can be recycled will be recycled effortlessly.

@rosebellendiritu Especially on the recycling front. If they can do this in perhaps the whole of Thika, then all the plastic in Thika town would be recycled leading to less plastic being produced.

@rashid_kamau You're right. This is a step in that direction that we hope can help address global issues of plastic pollution even by starting small with such an initiative.
