Zerotrash Collection Center

Zero Trash

Clean the earth with
Zero Trash

We started our collection at the back yard of one of our cofounders in 2019. The collected plastic was pre processed and delivered to recycler in Horana

We were losing 70% of money every month as we covered only 25% of our costs. Slowly we improved our collection methods and now we run a model to self sustain this collection effort.
