The ongoing decongestion exercise by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has resulted in a 14.4-tonne reduction in the volume of waste collected from the Central Business District (CBD).
According to the Head of Waste Management at the Assembly, Engineer Solomon Noi, before the exercise, the AMA deployed four tipper trucks that made a minimum of six trips daily to evacuate waste from the Central Business District; however, following the exercise, the Assembly was recording an average of four trips per day.
The Head of Waste Management made this known on Monday during the continuation of the First Ordinary Meeting of the First Session of the Ninth Assembly of the AMA. "After the exercise, we are recording an average of four trips a day.
This represents a reduction of two loads of tipper trucks, which is estimated at 14.4 tonnes of waste," he said.
