The Kwadaso Municipal Assembly\u2019s environmental department has cleared a long-standing refuse dump at Ohwimase near the market and Apatrapa Basic School.<\/p>\n

The waste dump has been posing health hazards to residents for almost eight months.<\/p>\n

The evacuation exercise aimed to promote responsible waste disposal was lead the Municipal Chief Executive, Eric Asibey.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In an interview with Adom News, he explained that the refuse had piled up unintentionally.<\/p>\n

He stated that the Assembly had outsourced the dumping refuse site clearance to a private waste management company, but they have been slacking and have not done their job.<\/p>\n

He added that the Assembly could not ignore the issue, so they stepped in to clear and disinfect the site as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He called on residents to keep the area tidy and join forces with the Assembly to boost sanitation efforts.<\/p>\n

Mr. Asibey warned residents, drivers, mates, and vendors to desist from dumping trash around Sofoline, adding\u00a0that anyone caught will be prosecuted.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cWe won\u2019t tolerate indiscriminate dumping. We\u2019ll prosecute offenders to maintain proper sanitation in the municipality,\u201d he cautioned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The MCE\u2019s warning comes as part of efforts to address sanitation challenges in the area, with the assembly working to improve waste management and enforce environmental bye-laws.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve revamped the Town Council unit \u2018Nsamasaman\u2019 and will be conducting inspections at homes, markets, and shops. If you\u2019re caught dumping waste indiscriminately, expect a summons,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n

He said the assembly will distribute more designated waste bins to support efforts to improve sanitation in the municipality.<\/p>\n

The Assembly is stepping up efforts to improve waste management and enforce environmental laws, aiming to address sanitation issues in the area.<\/p>\n

The Assembly Member for Ohwemase electoral area, Isaac Owusu also expressed gratitude to the municipal assembly led for efforts to improve sanitation in the area.<\/p>\n

He assured the MCE of his support and pledged to work residents to maintain cleanliness.<\/p>\n

He therefore urged the residents to wait for designated waste bins instead of dumping waste Indiscriminately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
