Nairobi kicks out garbage collection firms from CBD

More than 40 private garbage collectors have been barred from operating in the Nairobi central business district (CBD) as the county government moves to enforce what it called operating standards.

This has left hundreds of customers without the essential services, having paid in advance. They will now be forced to engage the remaining eight collectors or a company sub-contracted by City Hall to provide sweeping and garbage collection services in the CBD.
