Residents demand immediate closure of Kpone landfill over health and environmental concerns
The landfill, which serves as one of the major waste disposal sites in the Greater Accra Region, has reportedly exceeded its capacity, leaving waste to pile up uncontrollably and exposing nearby communities to foul odours, pollution and potential disease outbreaks.
Residents are therefore urging the government, the Ministry of Local Government and the relevant waste management authorities to take immediate steps to decommission the landfill and implement a long-term solution for waste disposal in the area.
Residents of Kpone, Tema Community 25 and nearby communities are calling for the immediate decommissioning of the Kpone landfill site, warning that its deteriorating condition poses a growing environmental and public health threat.
