Mahama directs Zoomlion to activate all transfer stations

Addressing residents during the second and final day of the National Clean-up Exercise at Alajo, Accra, on Saturday, July 11, he said the transfer stations, constructed more than nine years ago, had never been operationalised, forcing waste collectors to make costly trips to disposal sites far from the city.

President John Dramani Mahama has directed the immediate operationalisation of all the waste transfer stations managed under Zoomlion Ghana Limited to accelerate refuse evacuation and strengthen waste management systems in the Greater Accra Region following the recent floods.

As the exercise concluded, stakeholders expressed optimism that the activation of transfer stations, increased logistics deployment and stronger collaboration between government and private sector partners would improve waste management and contribute to building a cleaner and more resilient Accra.
