The Communications Manager of Zoomlion Ghana Limited, Ernest Morgan Acquah, has revealed that 70% of waste in Accra is collected, leaving 30% uncollected.

He further explained that large waste management companies, including Zoomlion, are responsible for collecting 80% of the waste, while local tricycle operators, known as “Aboboyaa”, collect the remaining 20%.

Accra has been grappling with chronic flooding issues over the years, exacerbated by clogged gutters filled with waste.

In an interview on Citi TV’s The Point of View with Bernard Avle, Mr Acquah expressed concern over the absence of a proper landfill site in Accra.
