Mr. Kojo Acquah, the Municipal Chief Executive, said plans are far advanced to obtain a waste recycling plant, where all the waste generated across the Municipal, would be evacuated and recycled.

Meanwhile, 10 waste disposal bins have been created at the proposed site, ahead of the project and this is where heaps of rubbish, left to pile for over 10 years in communities in the Municipal, is being transported.

The exercise forms part of a massive garbage evacuation exercise that the Assembly and Zoom Lion Company embarked on to address an age-long sanitation challenge.


In an interview with ghanadistricts.com, the MCE said the exercise was part of the Assembly’s commitment to promoting the well-being of the local populace by ensuring sound environmental sanitation, enabling them to stay healthy and productive.

He urged the community leaders and members not only to cooperate with the personnel in charge of the evacuation exercise, but also help to put in place strong measures that would promote sound and safe management of rubbish disposal.

He added that funds have been allocated from the Assembly’s Common Fund to complete a water closet toilet facility in Whindo, a community in the Municipality.
