SG - Zoomlion Donates 10 New Waste Management Trucks

WaPreG works with religious bodies, schools and the general public in preventing waste.  Despite this, there will be some amount of waste until we find ways to turn all waste into some form of resource and management will be required during that time.  As can be seen in “Zoomlion Donates 10 New Waste Management Trucks” by SpyGhana, executives of Zoomlion Ghana Limited are finding ways to manage what waste does exist.  In an effort to end Ghana’s filth problem, executives donated ten garbage trucks, as well as other equipment to the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies in the Upper East Region.

The Honourable Lucy Awuni, Deputy Upper East Regional Minister, acknowledged that though Zoomlion Ghana Limited, as a company, works at providing sanitation services to the country, citizens must recall that they need to play their part in keeping Ghana clean.  She also made the point that Ghanaians having bad sanitation habits is having an effect on the country's economy, as there is a need to spend much money on this problem that could easily be prevented.  The money that is being spent on the consequences of these habits could be spent on other things, if only there were a change in Ghanaian sanitation habits.

Mr. Abubakari Issaka, Deputy Upper East Regional Manager of Zoomlion, requested that the Chief Executives devote time during Assembly programmes for educating the public on the necessity to keep their environment clean.  This sounds like a call for WaPreG or a similar organization to jump in and help out!  I don’t know when WaPreG will be able to help in this particular area, so if anyone is in or near the Upper East Region, this is your chance to help with this problem!  If you need support, do contact us and we will be very happy to collaborate!
