Testimonial
Hear it from Active Users
Real users, real impact. See how Umpaya is making e-waste recycling easier, rewarding, and more meaningful.
Recycling my old phone was quick and easy. I scheduled a pickup through the app, and within days, it was collected. I love that I earned rewards for doing something good for the planet.
I had no idea what to do with my old laptop until I found Umpaya. The process was simple, and I even got to see a tree planted in my name. It feels good to know I made an impact.
I never thought recycling could be this rewarding. My old gadgets were picked up at my doorstep, and I got to redeem my points for cash. It’s a great initiative that more people should know about.
Most recycling programs don’t offer anything in return, but with Umpaya, I got rewarded for my e-waste. It was an easy process, and I appreciate the effort they put into sustainability.
The app is so easy to use. I listed my old electronics, set a pickup time, and everything was handled smoothly. Seeing the number of trees I’ve contributed to makes it even more fulfilling.

What is e-waste?
E-waste (electronic waste) refers to discarded electronic devices and gadgets that are no longer useful or functioning. This includes smartphones, laptops, batteries, TVs, printers, and more.
Why is e-waste a problem?
E-waste contains toxic materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium, which can leach into the soil and water if not disposed of properly. It also contributes to air pollution, human health risks, and environmental degradation.
How much e-waste is generated globally?
According to the United Nations, over 50 million metric tons of e-waste are generated every year. Sadly, only about 20% is properly recycled, while the rest ends up in landfills, dumpsites, or informal recycling markets.
What valuable materials can be recovered from e-waste?
E-waste contains precious metals such as gold, silver, copper, palladium, and platinum, which can be recovered and reused. Proper recycling helps conserve natural resources and reduce mining activities.
How can I properly dispose of my old electronics?
You can:
✅ Donate working devices to charities or schools.
✅ Sell or trade-in old gadgets to manufacturers or certified recyclers.
✅ Recycle with trusted e-waste companies like Umpaya.
✅ Avoid throwing electronics in regular trash bins!
What happens to e-waste when it is not recycled?
If not properly disposed of, e-waste:
❌ Ends up in landfills, where toxic chemicals leak into soil and groundwater.
❌ Is often burned, releasing harmful gases into the air.
❌ Is shipped to developing countries, where informal recyclers handle it unsafely, causing serious health and environmental issues.

Simple Steps, Big Impact: How You Can Live More Eco-Friendly
Every small action counts when it comes to protecting our planet — and it begins with simple, conscious choices we make every day.
Here are 3 easy ways to start your eco-friendly journey 👇
♻ Use Reusable Shopping Bags
Say no to single-use plastics! These bags take hundreds of years to decompose, polluting our land and oceans. Switch to reusable bags — they’re stronger, stylish, and kinder to the environment.
🗑 Sort the Garbage for Recycling
Recycling turns waste into valuable raw materials, reducing the need for new resource extraction. At Umpaya, we’re taking this a step further — transforming electronic waste into materials for a cleaner, circular economy.
💧⚡ Save Water and Electricity
Every drop and watt matters! Conserving water and energy reduces fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions — helping fight climate change one household at a time.
At Umpaya, we believe that sustainability isn’t just a concept — it’s a movement powered by everyday people. From collecting e-waste responsibly to planting trees for every recycled device, our goal is to create a ripple effect of positive environmental change. 🌳💚
Join us. Let’s make a world where nothing goes to waste, and every choice moves us closer to a sustainable future.

Every gadget we throw away adds to the climate crisis.
When e-waste is burned or dumped, it releases toxic gases and CO₂ that trap heat in our atmosphere.
At Umpaya, we’re changing that narrative, turning e-waste into opportunities for recycling, reforestation, and renewal.
Each device recycled means fewer emissions, cleaner air, and a step closer to a sustainable Africa. 🌿
Let’s act today, recycle with Umpaya and be part of the climate solution. ♻

A reminder that unity is the root of sustainability. 🌍
When we stand together, we share strength, ideas, and responsibility.
True progress isn’t built by one person’s effort but by the collective will of many, people, communities, and nations, choosing to protect what we all share.
Sustainability thrives where unity exists; it’s in our working together that the planet truly heals and the future becomes secure.

Nigeria’s Hidden Waste Crisis
Every year, Nigeria throws away over 1 million tons of electronic waste, old phones, computers, TVs, and appliances that once made life easier but now pile up in dumps, streets, and waterways. Behind those piles are unseen stories; of families breathing in toxic smoke from burnt cables, of children playing near polluted soils, of communities slowly losing their health and their land.
At Umpaya, we see more than waste, we see a chance to rebuild hope. By collecting, recycling, and repurposing e-waste, we’re helping protect our people and our planet. Every device we recover is a small victory, cleaner air to breathe, safer communities to live in, and new opportunities for those who need them most.
This is more than recycling; it’s a movement to restore balance, to give value back to what was lost and create a future where waste becomes a story of renewal, not destruction.
Together, we can turn Nigeria’s waste crisis into a story of change, growth, and hope.

Every tree we plant does more than just grow, it gives us cleaner air to breathe, cools our cities, and helps heal the planet we all share.
Studies show that a single mature tree can absorb up to 48 pounds of carbon dioxide every year and produce enough oxygen for two people to breathe.
Each tree planted is a small step toward a greener, healthier future. Let’s keep planting, keep nurturing, and keep growing together, for ourselves, for our communities, and for generations to come.
