Who we are
Built on trust, driven by responsibility.
De Waste (U) Limited was founded in Kampala with a single mission: to make responsible waste management accessible to every institution, business, and household in Uganda.
Over 14 years, we have grown from a small collection operation into a full-service waste intelligence partner — serving UN agencies, global corporations, government bodies, and local communities under the same rigorous standards.
Our ISO 45001:2018 certification and full NEMA licensing are not just credentials. They are proof of a culture that treats waste as a serious responsibility — to people, to the environment, and to future generations.
Our mission
To deliver compliant, reliable, and innovative waste management solutions that protect Uganda's people and environment.
Our vision
To be Uganda's leading waste intelligence platform — where data, technology, and expert operations converge.
