Long-term project

Integrated Waste Recovery Center – Monrovia

Liberia generates over 540,000 tons of municipal waste every year, most of it mismanaged. Our flagship initiative will establish the first Integrated Waste Recovery Center in Liberia, converting organic and plastic waste into clean biogas, compost fertilizer and recycled plastic products — reducing pollution, improving urban sanitation and cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

The project will create more than 250 green jobs and train 300 youth and women in waste management, recycling and green entrepreneurship, with at least 50% of all employment and training opportunities going to women.

Open dumpsite with mixed municipal waste

Targets by the end of year three

Measurable impact

Waste diverted

81,000 t

Biogas produced

2.9 million m³

Organic compost

2,430 t

Plastic recycled

3,240 t

Total budget: €900,000. GreenCycle Liberia seeks partnerships with development agencies, donors and private institutions to implement this vision. The project supports Liberia’s National Solid Waste Management Policy and SDGs 7, 11, 12 and 13.

Facility design

Equipment for the recovery center

Sorting & separation

Semi-mechanized sorting hall (conveyors, trommels, manual sorters) separating organics, plastics and inerts.

Biogas production

Biogas for cooking plus nutrient-rich digestate used as liquid fertilizer by farmers.

Aerobic composting

Raw organic waste composted aerobically into high-grade fertilizer for farmers.

Diesel, gasoline and butane recovered from plastic waste

Plastic-to-fuel

Production of gasoline and other fuels from non-recyclable plastic waste.

Construction materials

Plastic waste converted into pavers, bricks and tiles.

Maturation & storage

Covered sheds for compost maturation, screening and bagging.

Short-term projects

Pilots that deliver results now

Short-term project 1

Organic Waste Composting for Sustainable Agriculture

Semi-industrial aerobic composting that turns food and agricultural waste into affordable, nutrient-rich fertilizer — reducing biodegradable waste in dumpsites and improving soil fertility and crop productivity for local farmers.

Less organic waste in dumpsites
Affordable compost for farmers
Climate-resilient, circular agriculture

Short-term project 2

Residence & Commercial Waste Segregation and Collection Pilot

In partnership with the Monrovia City Corporation (MCC): door-to-door collection by trained local collectors, targeting 500 residences and businesses over six months, with training and colour-coded bins for organics, recyclables and residuals.

Cleaner neighbourhoods and less illegal dumping
Higher recycling and resource recovery
Jobs for local youth and waste pickers
Improved public health and sanitation

Short-term project 3

Waste Education & Youth Mobilization Pilot

A 12-week program in Monrovia communities and schools with workshops, school Eco Clubs and Youth Waste Ambassadors: ~500 direct participants, 1,800+ adults in workshops and 50,000+ residents reached via radio, social media and announcements.
