Event Summary

President John Mahama has directed the immediate operationalisation of six waste transfer stations managed by Zoomlion Ghana Limited in the Greater Ghana — Accra Region, following recent floods. The stations, located at Achimota, Teshie, Kpone, Ashaiman, Pantang and Adipa, were built over nine years ago but had remained unused. The directive aims to improve refuse collection efficiency by allowing waste collectors to deposit waste at nearby transfer stations instead of traveling long distances to final disposal sites. Zoomlion has deployed significant logistics, including 150 haulage trucks, 30 compactors, over 2,000 tricycle operators and 1,000 personnel, to support the evacuation. The move is part of a two-day National General Clean-up Exercise and ongoing flood recovery efforts. Minister for Local Government Ahmad Ibrahim inspected the facilities and praised the public-private partnership. The initiative is expected to enhance waste management and promote a circular economy through recycling and composting at plants like ACARP and IRECOP.
