Recycling is still limited in everyday life in Kenya, so travelers should not expect the kind of strict sorting systems found in many Western cities; in most places, waste is simply put out for collection or handled informally by waste pickers and scrap dealers. In Nairobi and a few larger towns, some supermarkets, offices, and NGOs do separate plastics, paper, and glass, but it is still normal to ask locally before assuming there is a recycling bin or a formal pickup service.
