About Live Love Recycle
Live Love Recycle is a Lebanese social and environmental enterprise that grew out of the country’s waste crisis and the wider Live Love community movement. It offers a free, on-demand recycling pickup service: residents sort their recyclables, request a collection through an app or message, and a rider on an electric bike comes to their door to collect the sorted waste for processing.
The initiative combines clean mobility, technology and social employment, using zero-emission electric bikes and creating jobs for riders and operators. Funded through partnerships, sponsorships and corporate services, Live Love Recycle has collected large volumes of recyclable material, particularly in and around Beirut, proving that convenience is key to changing everyday recycling habits.
Why Live Love Recycle Matters
Live Love Recycle removes the biggest barrier to recycling, inconvenience, by bringing collection to people’s doorsteps at no cost. Its electric-bike fleet cuts emissions, its operations create jobs, and its app-based model shows how technology can drive environmental behaviour. It is a striking example of Lebanese civic innovation responding to a national crisis.
