Heaps of refuse, choked drains linger in parts of Accra nearly 2 weeks after nationwide clean-up
Heaps of uncollected refuse and heavily choked drains remain in parts of Accra nearly two weeks after the nationwide clean-up exercise directed by President John Dramani Mahama, raising concerns about post-clean-up waste management.
At the Lapaz Trotro Station, heaps of refuse collected during the exercise remained uncollected, with some of the waste beginning to decompose.
The nationwide exercise, held on July 10 and 11, formed part of efforts to improve environmental sanitation and reduce flooding by clearing drains and removing refuse from public spaces.
