Agbogloshie waste evacuation: Full-capacity haulage to take place at night – Mahama

Speaking at the commissioning of the waste evacuation exercise, President Mahama said the operation would be conducted on a smaller scale during the day, with full-capacity evacuation taking place at night in line with the government’s 24-Hour Economy Initiative.

President John Dramani Mahama has announced that the full-capacity haulage of waste from Agbogloshie in Accra to the Adepa Engineered Landfill Sites near Nsawam in the Eastern Region will take place at night.

The President said the arrangement forms part of measures to ensure that the evacuation of the estimated one million tonnes of waste is carried out responsibly while protecting residents, road users and communities along the haulage routes.
