Geo Pomona Waste Management joined the City of Harare and Highview Clinic in a community clean-up campaign in Highfields, as part of ongoing efforts to promote a cleaner and healthier environment in the capital.
During the campaign, teams from Geo Pomona, local authorities and community members rolled up their sleeves to sweep streets, collect waste and restore public spaces in the suburb.
The initiative reflects a growing collaboration between stakeholders to encourage responsible waste management and community participation in maintaining clean neighbourhoods.
The clean-up drive is also aligned with President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s national call for environmental stewardship, which encourages citizens, institutions and companies to take part in keeping communities clean and habitable.
Beyond community campaigns, Geo Pomona has been playing a central role in transforming Harare’s waste management system through its operations at the Pomona waste management facility.
The project, established under a joint venture agreement between the City of Harare and Geo Pomona Waste Management, aims to modernise how the city handles solid waste and improve environmental sustainability.
At the Pomona site, the company is developing a modern waste-to-energy facility that will convert municipal waste into electricity.
Once fully operational, the plant is expected to generate up to 16-22 megawatts of power, which will be fed into the national grid while simultaneously reducing the amount of waste dumped in landfills.
Geo Pomona is also supporting broader waste management initiatives across Harare.
These include clearing illegal dumpsites that have accumulated across the city, improving waste collection systems and supporting structured refuse management in partnership with the municipality.
The company has been implementing a phased clean-up programme targeting illegal dumping hotspots, while working with partners to improve waste collection and restore cleanliness across residential areas.
Through community clean-up campaigns such as the Highfields initiative, Geo Pomona says it aims to complement its large-scale waste management infrastructure by promoting grassroots environmental responsibility.
The Highfields clean-up campaign brought together residents, health workers and environmental teams in a collective effort to improve the suburb’s surroundings — demonstrating how partnerships between communities, local authorities and private sector players can help build a cleaner and more sustainable Harare.
