Jumeni

Jumeni is a waste collection platform for households and businesses in Accra, Ghana, offering on-demand and recurring pickups through a network of verified waste collectors.

Key capabilities include:

• On-demand and scheduled pickups, with one-time or recurring collections that match a customer’s preferred timetable
• Multiple waste types supported, including plastic, paper, and general waste
• Transparent, usage-based pricing, customers pay only for pickups that are completed; pricing typically starts from GHS 25 per pickup and varies by bin type, quantity, location, and whether the customer is a household or business
• Payments and billing tools, including secure in-app payments, access to invoices and payment history, and monthly billing based on completed pickups (from January 2026, new users must maintain a wallet balance equivalent to the pickup fee before placing requests)

Available on Android and iOS

Target users include homes, landlords, and businesses that need reliable waste pickups across Accra neighbourhoods.

Jumeni is notable in Ghana’s waste ecosystem for working with informal waste collectors (aboboya) and partnering with recycling specialists in the value chain, with sorting aimed at diverting recoverable materials from landfills. Founded in 2018, it is associated with Ghana’s local innovation community (including MEST involvement) and was founded by Eyram Amedzor and Emmanuel Oduro.
