Local government Minister Mahama Ayariga projects GH¢50 waste bill under new collection system

Mr Ayariga said the government wanted the new system to make waste collection more affordable while improving the movement of refuse from households to transfer stations, treatment facilities and final disposal sites.

The government plans to finance the initial investment in the system, including collection vehicles, tricycles, household waste bins, transfer stations and landfill infrastructure.

The government is considering a new waste collection system under which households could eventually pay as little as GH¢50 per fortnight, Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs Minister Mahama Ayariga has said.
