Waste Collection through Mobile App – Aakri Mobile App
What if you can sell the waste in your house through a mobile application? Yes, that is possible through Aakri mobile App.
What if you can sell the waste in your house through a mobile application? There is a mobile application called ‘Aakri’ which works in Kerala. Almost all recyclable, inorganic waste, including plastic, can be sold and cashed through this mobile app. You have to download the app and log in. Then there will be a list of items that can be picked up along with the current price of each item.
The price of a newspaper is around Rs.21 per kilo. Even ordinary pieces of paper that we burn cost around Rs.5 per kg. There are many types of plastic. Even the worst plastic will be priced at Rs.2 per kg. Bottles are also taken in some districts. There is only one thing to note. Paper and plastic should be kept clean and segregated. Or those who get a higher price will get a lower price.
In Kerala, Akri’s services are available in Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, Idukki, Thrissur and Kottayam. We can decide when to schedule the waste collection beforehand. This service includes digital scales for weighing. The amount will be paid in cash or paid by Google Pay.
