We’re building a cleaner, fairer Nepal — one pickup at a time.
EcoKabadi turns the things you no longer need into cash for you, income for waste workers, and a lighter footprint for the planet.
Our mission
To make recycling the easiest choice for every home and business in Nepal — by connecting them to verified collectors, guaranteeing fair and transparent rates, and ensuring every kilo is recycled responsibly.
Our vision
A Nepal where nothing valuable is thrown away, where the informal waste sector is dignified and digital, and where every citizen can see the impact of what they recycle — starting in Kathmandu, growing nationwide.
75%
of household trash in Nepal is recyclable — yet most of it is buried or burned.
25%
is all that currently gets recycled. EcoKabadi exists to close that gap.
100%
of what we collect is weighed transparently and routed to responsible recyclers.

EcoKabadi is young, ambitious and moving fast. Here’s where we are — and where we’re going.

Beyond Kathmandu Valley
We expand to Pokhara, Chitwan, Biratnagar and beyond — building the recycling backbone for the whole of Nepal.
The principles behind every pickup
Fairness first
Transparent rates and a digital scale mean everyone — seller and collector — gets a square deal.
Dignity for collectors
The informal waste workers who keep Nepal clean deserve steady income, tools and respect.
Real environmental impact
Every kilo we collect is properly recycled — measured, reported and kept out of the landfill.
Technology for good
We use software not to replace people, but to make honest work easier, faster and fairer.
Kathmandu
Nepal 🇳🇵
“I grew up seeing how much value we throw away every day — and how little the people who recycle it are valued. EcoKabadi is my answer to both.”
Dhiraj Yadav founded EcoKabadi in Kathmandu with a dream that reaches far beyond the valley: a Nepal where recycling is effortless, collectors run real businesses, and every household can watch its waste become value. From a single neighbourhood to the whole country, that mission is only getting started.
