Accra's Circle VIP Terminal Waste Crisis: Mayor Forces 5-Day Cleanup

Accra's Circle VIP Terminal Faces Waste Crisis; Mayor's Intervention Leads to Improved Cleanup Schedule Accra, Ghana – A massive pile of rubbish near Accra's Circle VIP bus terminal recently forced the intervention of the city's Mayor. Images and video footage show a significant accumulation of waste, impacting the environment and the surrounding community. The situation prompted concern from residents and prompted the Mayor to step in. "This heap of rubbish here...they pick it up every 10 days," stated a management representative in an interview captured on video. Following the Mayor's intervention, management has committed to a new schedule, promising to clear the waste every 5 days instead of the previous 10-day cycle. The video from JoyNews clearly shows the scale of the problem, with mountains of garbage bags, plastic bottles, and other waste materials. The cleanup efforts are underway, and the new schedule aims to prevent such large-scale accumulation in the future. While the immediate concern is addressed, the incident highlights the ongoing challenges of waste management in urban areas.
