Flood waste to be recycled for farming, other uses – Local Government Minister

The government says waste collected during the ongoing post-flood cleanup exercise will be processed and recycled for agricultural and other productive uses as part of efforts to strengthen sustainable waste management.

The assurance was given by the Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Ahmed Ibrahim, during a tour of transfer stations and the Accra Compost and Recycling Plant to assess how waste collected from flood-hit communities is being managed.

He added that strengthening waste recovery and recycling remains key to the government’s efforts to build a cleaner, more sustainable Ghana while reducing the environmental impact of flood-related waste.
