The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has raised an urgent alarm, announcing that the landfill sites in the city have reached maximum capacity.
According to the AMA, this situation poses a significant risk of disease outbreaks, raising concerns among residents and health experts.
The update was shared with the Parliamentary Committee on Water Resources and Sanitation during a recent visit to assemblies in the Greater Accra Region.
Solomon Noi, the Director of Waste Management at the AMA, explained that the situation has worsened due to inadequate waste disposal infrastructure and the lack of engineered landfill sites. "We used to dump at a place called Nsumia in Ga West, after Blue Skies, and it was a quarry site.
