Turning Waste
Into Opportunity

Veldtschoen Waste Management Solutions was founded on a simple but powerful question: "What if waste had value?"

We saw that Namibians needed more than awareness — they needed a system that made recycling easy, accessible, and genuinely rewarding. So we built one. From door-to-door collection services to school programmes and state-of-the-art Reverse Vending Machines, every initiative we run is designed to keep recyclable material out of landfills and in the hands of responsible processors.

To us, our customers are like family — and family takes care of one another. That spirit of community underpins everything we do.

Family-first approach to every customer relationship
Proudly Namibian, serving communities nationwide

Committed to Zero Waste goals

Vision & Mission

The principles that guide every bag we collect and every bottle we recycle.

Our Vision Statement

To inspire and challenge Namibians to achieve the highest waste reduction, recycling, and reuse goals in the nation through innovation and creativity, sound advancements in science and technology, and efficient programmes that improve economic vitality and environmental sustainability.

We work with civic, business, government, educational and community groups across the country to improve aesthetic and ecological value through litter control, waste reduction, and proper disposal of solid waste.

Our Mission Statement

  • Restore, protect and enhance the environment to ensure public health, environmental quality and economic vitality.
  • Transfer recyclables to appropriate facilities until our goal of zero waste is achieved.
  • Maintain and operate a waste diversion and recycling facility — including a "Free Store" — for the benefit of Namibians, visitors, local businesses and the environment.
  • Manage the diversion, recycling and reuse of Namibia's waste consistent with applicable government regulations.
  • Promote community education and support for continued waste reduction, reuse and recycling toward zero waste.

Building a Greener
Namibia Together

We believe that real environmental change happens when communities are empowered, not just informed. Through innovation, technology, and on-the-ground partnerships, we're working toward a Namibia with zero unnecessary waste.

"We encourage, appreciate and reward excellence — because every can collected, every bottle returned, every child taught is a victory for our shared future."
