AMA outdoors 2 new compactor trucks to strengthen waste collection

Michael Kpakpo Allotey, Mayor of Accra is seen in on of the trucks The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has outdoored two new refuse compactor trucks to improve waste collection, reduce the accumulation of refuse, and strengthen sanitation services across the metropolis.

He said the Assembly did not own a refuse compactor when he assumed office and had depended mainly on rented equipment and services from private waste-management companies, adding that the continuous rental of sanitation equipment was not sustainable, making it necessary for the Assembly to begin building its own fleet.

The Minister stated that the two trucks would not be enough to meet the sanitation demands of the capital and urged the Assembly to work towards acquiring at least five or six compactors.
