Mount Kilimanjaro Cleanup

Waste carried down off the routes, weighed and recorded.

The problem

Tens of thousands of climbers a year leave behind waste that porters are not paid to carry down.

What we do about it

Cleanup teams work the main routes each season, weigh what comes off the mountain, and sort it for recycling in Moshi. Porters on the teams are paid properly for the work.

Reach

Waste removed since inception
