Concession & Governance
How Dar Eco Circular partners with all five Dar es Salaam municipalities, what the 10% remittance means for local government, and the regulatory framework that makes this a bankable public-private partnership.
A 25-Year Concession Structured for Public Benefit
Dar Eco Circular holds a 25-year PPP concession to develop, finance, build, and operate the Integrated Waste Facility serving all five municipalities of Dar es Salaam.
Under the concession, the private consortium shoulders all capital risk, finances construction, and operates the facility — while municipal councils retain ownership of waste streams and receive a guaranteed 10% revenue share from tipping fees, auditable in real time via the CircularOps digital platform.
The agreement is structured under Tanzania's PPP Act Cap. 103 R.E. 2018, with PPRA oversight and NEMC environmental permitting — the same framework used for major infrastructure PPPs across East Africa.
All Five Dar es Salaam Municipalities
How the 10% Remittance Works
Every tonne of waste generates a traceable, auditable revenue stream — 10% flows back to the municipal council that collected it.
Waste Delivered
Households and businesses pay collection fees. Trucks deliver verified tonnage to the Integrated Waste Facility.
Tonnage Verified
Weighbridges record incoming waste per municipal origin. All records are digitally auditable via CircularOps.
Revenue Generated
IWF processes waste — gate tipping fees, energy sales, compost, and recyclable revenues are collected by HoldCo.
10% Remittance
10% of gross tipping-fee revenue per municipality is automatically remitted monthly under the concession terms.
Municipal Allocation
Each council receives its proportional share based on verified tonnage delivered from its jurisdiction.
Auditable Reporting
