Zoomlion Ghana Limited has handed over three waste management trucks to support sanitation efforts in the Ahafo Region.
The presentation ceremony took place in Goaso, where the Ahafo Regional Coordinator of Zoomlion, Maxwell Osei Antwi, said the move is aimed at addressing persistent challenges with waste evacuation.
He explained that frequent breakdowns of existing trucks had resulted in overflowing waste containers, posing a major sanitation threat.
“The presented trucks will serve as backups. Immediately a truck breaks down, these ones will move to do the evacuation to ensure that containers are empty all the time as expected,” he told Adom News.
Mr. Antwi said the trucks will be shared among the six municipal and district assemblies. Tano North and South will share one truck, Asutifi North and South will use another, while the last truck will be shared between Asunafo North and South.
He believes the move will help ensure regular clearing and transportation of refuse to designated dumping sites to keep the region clean.
Receiving the trucks on behalf of the Ahafo Regional Minister, the Regional Political Coordinator, Loaman Iddrisu Dauda, lauded Zoomlion for the gesture.
He said the support will ease the burden on assemblies that struggle to manage waste due to constant breakdowns of collection vehicles.
“The availability of these trucks will help the assemblies handle waste properly,” he stated, calling the intervention timely and commendable.
