    The current Anglophone crisis has created a vulnerable situation in Bamenda with the complete failure of public services and heavy migration from nearby rural areas, which has resulted into uncontrolled dumping and burning of waste in public spaces, backyards, and river. As per the previous study, Bamenda city generated 120-160tonnes of municipal solid waste daily (0.40-0.54kg per capita) with 76% organic fraction. Today the heaps of garbage have certainly increased with no management infrastructure in the city causing a threat to health and environment in the city. With the motivation to address the garbage issue CAEPA is working to develop a Collection system: Engaging participants across the city using App interface and distribution of dry waste storage bags to voluntary engaging participants across the city. And in exchange for disposal fee offering service to collect bags at weekly intervals.
