Home waste collected on demand, even between official rounds.
Waste pickup marketplace · Nigeria
Your smart way torequest waste pickup.
Imototo connects residents to verified private waste collectors when the regular round is delayed, unavailable, or can't reach the street. Transparent price, tracked job, photo proof.
Easy requests
Verified collectors
Transparent prices
Proof of pickup
The gap isn't price. It's capacity.
Collection rounds run late. Streets are too narrow for a lorry. Waste piles up between pickups and nobody knows who to call. Residents already pay informal collectors — they just do it blind, with no price, no accountability and no proof.
Imototo doesn't replace public waste authorities. It bridges the gap between a resident's need and the collection capacity that already exists nearby.
Delayed rounds
Waste sits for days with no visibility on when it clears.
Unreachable roads
Large trucks skip narrow, unpaved or blocked streets.
No accountability
Informal pickups leave no record, no proof, no recourse.
Unclear pricing
Price negotiated at the gate, often after the work starts.

Marketplace

- Browse verified cleaning supplies from local sellers
- Order everything from brooms to bin bags in one checkout
- Vendors set their own prices, stock and delivery terms
- Ratings and reviews keep quality high across the marketplace

Who it's for
Everyone the round leaves behind
Businesses
Shops, offices and restaurants with daily, higher-volume waste.
Hard-to-access areas
Estates and narrow streets matched to right-sized vehicles.
For collectors
Steady jobs, organised routes, real reputation
Private collectors already have the vehicles and the local knowledge. What they lack is a reliable pipeline of paying customers. Imototo supplies qualified, area-matched jobs and turns good service into a visible rating.
- Register, verify once, start receiving jobs in your service area
- Set availability, vehicle type and your own pricing
- Accept or decline — you stay in control of your day
- Build a public rating that wins you repeat customers
