Waste Management Meets Bitcoin: How Recycling Can Pay You in SATS
Introduction
Imagine a world where you get paid in Bitcoin for recycling waste. In Kibera, where waste management is a major challenge, Afribit has introduced a groundbreaking initiative that turns trash into Bitcoin wealth.
By merging environmental sustainability with financial empowerment, Afribit is creating a future where waste is no longer a problem, but a financial opportunity.

How the Program Works
- Community members collect recyclable waste (plastic, glass, paper).
- The waste is weighed and valued in SATS.
- People receive instant Bitcoin payments for their contributions.
- The collected waste is processed and sold to recycling companies, reinvesting profits into the community.
Why This Matters
✅ Financial Inclusion – Even the poorest individuals can earn Bitcoin.
✅ Clean Environment – Less pollution, better health, and sustainable development.
✅ Circular Economy Strengthening – The Bitcoin earned is spent locally, supporting merchants and businesses.
