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.

Funmi Adeyemi

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.

Frequently

  • Smartphones 📱
  • Laptops & Computers 💻

Other types of Electro gadgets will also be added with time.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 great movement begins with a spark — and what started as a simple idea to turn e-waste into environmental renewal has today evolved into a powerful vision driving real change across communities.

At Umpaya, our story is one of shared passion, resilience, and teamwork. From the innovators shaping our technology, to the communicators driving our message, the strategists steering our growth, and the volunteers bringing life to our “E-Waste for Trees” project — every one of you has played an extraordinary role.

Together, we’ve collected and recycled devices, planted trees that now stand as living testaments to hope, and inspired people across cities to take action for our planet.

This growth, this impact, this movement — it’s ours. 💪
Thank you for believing in the vision, for building it daily, and for proving that sustainability thrives when purpose meets teamwork.

Let’s keep growing. Let’s keep greening the world. 🌍🌱

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.
