The VIPRO app: request a pickup from your phone

The app connects people in Kinshasa with the programme's collectors and follows every kilo through to payment. It is not published yet: the pilot will start in one commune.

The bags are ready by the door. The only question is when the collector will come. The VIPRO app answers it: it connects residents with the programme's collectors and follows every kilo through to payment.

What you will be able to do from your phone

  • Request a pickup: say your bags are ready, from home.
  • Track your collection until the collector arrives.
  • Find the drop-off point closest to you.
  • See every weighing, every payment and its receipt in one place.
  • Take the Green Attitude pledge and follow your commitment.

How payment works

You bring your sorted materials or request a pickup. A VIPRO agent weighs them, and no money moves before the weighing. Payment then goes through an approved mobile money operator, with an SMS receipt.

To be paid, you need to be 18 or over and have a verified account.

No money moves before the weighing.

When will it be released?

The app is not published yet. The pilot will run in one commune first, before the app opens to the rest of the city. It will come to Android and iPhone. We will announce the pilot commune and the release date here.

In the meantime, the full journey is on the programme page.
