Dealing with flood waste: President Mahama activates 6 idle Zoomlion stations
Under the arrangement, Zoomlion Ghana has deployed 150 haulage trucks, 30 compactors, road sweepers, more than 2,000 tricycle waste operators and over 1,000 operatives, with an additional 60 long-haul trailers deployed on the second day of the national clean-up exercise to increase evacuation capacity.
President John Dramani Mahama has directed the immediate operationalisation of six waste transfer stations which were built and being managed by Zoomlion Ghana Limited to accelerate refuse evacuation and strengthen waste management systems in the Greater Accra Region, following the recent floods.
