Chamber of Local Governance blames Aboboya operators for illegal waste dumping crisis

However, he said some households have resorted to using Aboboya operators because it is a cheaper alternative to the franchise companies, creating challenges in ensuring that waste ends up at approved dumping facilities.

The concerns have also heightened following recent flooding incidents in Accra, where several waste materials were seen being carried through floodwaters, raising questions about the impact of poor sanitation practices on public health and urban safety.

Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Wednesday, July 8, during a discussion on “Ghana’s Sanitation Problems”, Mr Fiadomor explained that Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) have engaged registered waste management companies to handle sanitation services.
