1 house, 1 dust bin will solve sanitation problem in Ghana

*1 household, 1 bin will solve sanitation problem – Zoomlion Boss*

The Chief Executive Officer of Zoomlion Ghana limited says providing every household with litter bins solve Ghana’s waste challenge. This, Joseph Siaw Agyepong, said has become necessary because improper waste storage continues to hinder the progress of work done by waste contractors.

“When the waste is not stored in a waste bin for collection by the waste contractor, then we are rest assured that it might end up at unauthorized places, hence the urgent need to ensure that households have waste bins." He also wants the sanitation regulations enforced to change attitudes for effective waste management.

Speaking in Accra Tuesday At a stakeholders’ forum on Sanitation organized by IMANI Africa in Accra Tuesday, Mr Agyepong noted that Zoomlion’s intervention by desilting the Odaw drains averted a possible flood situation last year. “Despite not being paid for our desilting works on the Odaw drains, Zoomlion was still committed to desilting the Odaw drains to save lives and properties which has been a phenomenon anytime we experienced a heavy downpour,” he added.
