Ban Aboboya waste collection now – Environmental experts urge government
Environmental and local governance experts have called for a ban on informal tricycle operators, popularly known as Aboboya, collecting household waste, arguing that the practice undermines regulated waste management and creates challenges for proper disposal.
President of the Chamber for Local Governance, Dr Richard Fiadomor, supported the call for action against informal waste collectors, describing their operations as outside the approved arrangements between assemblies and licensed waste management companies.
They said that while informal operators provide a service to some communities, their activities fall outside the formal waste management arrangements established by metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies, making it difficult to ensure proper transportation and disposal of waste.
