Greenhill Recycling Limited is a Lagos-based social enterprise redefining waste management in Nigeria by turning everyday refuse into opportunities for economic empowerment and environmental sustainability.
Founded with the goal of addressing Nigeria’s mounting waste crisis, the company has pioneered a unique recycling-for-reward model that encourages households and communities to actively participate in responsible waste disposal.
Through its innovative programs, Greenhill Recycling engages thousands of households by offering incentives such as household items, groceries, and cash equivalents in exchange for recyclable materials like plastic, cans, and paper.
This approach not only reduces waste in landfills but also creates a culture of environmental responsibility among urban communities.
In 2024, the enterprise scaled its impact by expanding collection centers across Lagos and rolling out digital tools to make recycling more accessible.
Its efforts have contributed to cleaner neighborhoods, reduced plastic pollution, and increased awareness of sustainable living practices, while also supporting low-income families with tangible benefits.
As a nominee for Social Enterprise of the Year, Greenhill Recycling Limited exemplifies the power of innovation in tackling social and environmental challenges.
By aligning sustainability with community empowerment, it is shaping a greener and more responsible future for Nigeria.
