Keeping Accra Clean: AMA Introduces New Equipment To Fight Waste Challenges
Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has introduced two new waste compactor trucks as part of efforts to strengthen waste collection and improve sanitation management across the capital city.
The initiative forms part of the AMA’s commitment to promoting a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable Accra through the use of modern sanitation equipment and improved waste management systems.
Officials of the Assembly say the addition of the two new waste compactor trucks will support sanitation teams in responding quickly to waste collection needs, especially in areas where refuse accumulation has become a challenge.
The move comes as Accra continues to experience increased waste generation due to population growth, commercial activities and urban development, making efficient waste management a key priority for city authorities.
The AMA believes that investing in modern waste collection equipment will help reduce delays in refuse collection, improve sanitation conditions and prevent the buildup of waste in public spaces, markets and residential communities.
The Assembly has also stressed the need for residents, traders and businesses to cooperate by properly disposing of waste and using approved waste collection services.
Authorities have explained that maintaining a clean city requires a collective effort between the Assembly, waste management companies and the general public.
The introduction of the two new compactor trucks is expected to complement existing waste collection operations and increase the Assembly’s ability to provide reliable sanitation services across the metropolis.
The AMA has assured residents that it will continue to invest in practical solutions and partnerships aimed at improving sanitation and making Accra cleaner, safer and more environmentally friendly.
The Assembly is therefore calling on residents to support the clean city agenda by keeping their surroundings clean and contributing to responsible waste management practices.
