Mahama directs activation of Zoomlion transfer stations to improve waste collection after floods
President John Dramani Mahama directed the immediate operationalisation of all waste transfer stations managed by Zoomlion Ghana Limited to improve refuse collection and strengthen waste management across the Greater Accra Region in the aftermath of recent floods. Speaking on Saturday, July 11, during the second and final day of the National General Clean-up Exercise at Alajo, the President stated, "Unfortunately, they were not put into operation. So, we have asked the contractor, Zoomlion, to open the transfer stations so that the Aboboyas and others can take the garbage to the transfer stations."
The transfer stations, constructed more than nine years ago, had remained unused, forcing waste collectors to transport refuse over long distances to final disposal sites. Under the new arrangement, waste collectors will discharge refuse at the transfer stations, where it will be compacted before being transported by Zoomlion's heavy-duty haulage trucks to approved treatment and final disposal facilities. The six transfer stations are located at Achimota, Teshie, Kpone, Ashaiman, Pantang, and Adipa, and will serve as temporary collection points before waste is transported to facilities including the Accra Compost and Recycling Plant (ACARP) and the Accra Integrated Recycling and Compost Plant (IRECOP). Zoomlion confirmed that all six transfer stations are now operational and receiving waste.
