♻️ BIN THERE, HACKED THAT – Waste Hackathon 2025

An intense innovation sprint where tech meets trash 🚀 — bringing together brilliant minds to reimagine waste, build circular solutions, and create a lasting impact jointly organized by Budhanilkantha Municipality (बुढानिलकण्ठ नगरपालिका) and Khaalisisi, this is Nepal’s flagship innovation sprint to tackle the country’s waste crisis—head-on.

This high-stakes hackathon calls on coders, creatives, climate thinkers, and changemakers to build bold, tech-driven solutions for a cleaner, circular Nepal—right in time for World Environment Day.

🌍 More Than an Event — It's a Movement

Every pile of trash we ignore, every landfill we fill, and every waste we burn is a reminder that we must act — now. This World Environment Day, June 5, we're not just talking about change, we're hacking it.

Whether you're a student, a technologist, a designer, or someone passionate about the planet, this is your moment. Join us to reimagine waste, empower women, clean our air, and build smarter, circular systems that Nepal — and the world — urgently needs.
