WHO WE ARE

Shack Group is a dynamic, forward-thinking leader in the waste management sector, dedicated to transforming how communities perceive and handle waste. We specialize in innovative solutions for township and rural areas, where waste infrastructure is often limited, creating both environmental challenges and economic gaps.

Our work goes beyond waste collection — we empower communities through training, education, and job creation, turning waste into a valuable resource and a driver of local economic growth. By operating buy-back centers, running impactful awareness campaigns, and providing specialist services like bush clearing, we connect environmental preservation with tangible opportunities for livelihoods.

Guided by our vision of a sustainable and inclusive future, Shack Group aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, SDG 13: Climate Action, and SDG 15: Life on Land. This means our projects not only create jobs and encourage responsible resource use, but also protect and restore terrestrial ecosystems by reducing pollution, promoting biodiversity, and supporting sustainable land management practices.

At our core, we are innovators, environmental stewards, and community builders — committed to shaping a greener future while uplifting the people we serve and safeguarding the land we all depend on.
