About
Rooted in Nigeria,
Growing for the Planet
Waste is only waste if you waste it. At GentlePlanetBuddy, we see discarded plastic, paper, and metal as raw materials waiting for a second life
We started with a simple problem: our streets were drowning in trash, landfills were overflowing, and everyday Nigerians had no easy way to recycle. So we built the bridge connecting households and businesses to recycling facilities that actually work.
Today, every pickup we make is a step toward cleaner neighborhoods, green jobs for young Nigerians, and a circular economy that keeps resources in use, not in gutters.
This isn’t charity. It’s smart business for a sustainable Nigeria.

Before GentlePlanetBuddy, we were paying heavily for waste removal and had no idea where it ended up. Now our office in Lekki recycles 80% of waste, we get monthly sustainability reports, and our staff actually feel good about it. Professional team, always on schedule.
I started collecting plastics at home for GentlePlanetBuddy six months ago. The pickup is reliable, they weigh everything transparently, and the cashback helps with small household expenses. My kids even got involved it's become a family habit now.
GentlePlanetBuddy partnered with our community in Ibadan for a 3-month program. Cleanups, school workshops, and setting up local collection points. Youth unemployment dropped as some became collection agents. Real impact, not just talk.
