Senegal Transforms Its Sanitation System, Uber Style

A lot can happen over poo.

And it’s not a typo. You read it right. Apparently, the Senegal National Sanitation Utility is experimenting with a mind-boggling Uber style waste management system in Dakar, the capital of West African nations. Eighty percent of Senegal residents use pit latrines and due to a problematic sewage system, the pit-emptiers charge excessively to clean up the dirt. So the government has decided to introduce a SMS service to collect and sell it!
