Nairobi County is clearing tonnes of garbage from drains and waterways before anticipated rains, collecting about 3,000 tonnes daily — triple the previous rate — to address blocked waterways and illegal dumping sites that threaten flood-prone areas.
Nairobi County has intensified its citywide clean-up and drainage clearance campaign across all 17 sub-counties, removing thousands of loads of garbage from waste hotspots and river corridors to prepare for expected October El Niño rains. Daily garbage collection has risen from about 1,000 tonnes to 3,000 tonnes.
The Innovate4Cities Conference (I4C26) opened in Nairobi with community street art and plenary sessions emphasizing that climate action success depends on how cities accommodate growing populations through climate-resilient housing and inclusive urban planning. The conference, being hosted in Africa for the first time, brought together residents, policymakers, climate scientists and international delegates to discuss sustainability, climate resilience and the role of communities in shaping urban environments.
Global leaders, scientists, policymakers and city officials meeting in Nairobi at the 2026 Innovate4Cities Conference have called for deeper collaboration between governments, researchers, businesses and communities to accelerate climate action and build sustainable cities amid rapid urbanization. UN-Habitat Executive Director Anacláudia Rossbach warned that Africa's cities are expanding at an unprecedented pace while millions lack adequate housing and basic urban services.

The Nairobi County Government has increased daily waste collection from about 1,000 to more than 4,000 tonnes since April, clearing more than 40 major waste collection points and illegal dumping sites across the city's 17 sub-counties through an intensified clean-up campaign involving private waste management firms and over 100 garbage collection trucks.
Embakasi led Nairobi waste collection between April and June 2026 with 1,170 truckloads, while Kware removed 1,011 truckloads and Kasarani collected 679 truckloads from four points. The county now collects up to 6,000 tonnes of waste daily during peak operations, up from 1,000 tonnes previously, with polythene remaining the leading waste material despite a nationwide ban.
Nairobi City County has scaled up daily garbage collection from about 1,000 tonnes to more than 4,000 tonnes through an expanded fleet of more than 100 collection trucks operating in partnership with private sector players including Zoomlion. The county has cleared dozens of illegal dumping sites across its 17 sub-counties as part of a citywide clean-up campaign that began in April 2026.
Nairobi County has decided to absorb the Climate Worx programme into its routine sanitation system, consolidating duties including street sweeping, drainage clearing, and waste handling into daily operations to eliminate duplication and ensure consistent clean-up work rather than periodic campaigns.
