With better coverage, including previously underserved communities, the initiative aims to reduce health risks associated with poor sanitation while enabling a more responsive system during emergency or high-demand periods.
“This is not just about collecting waste—it’s about ensuring that the services are timely, reliable, and centered on community needs,” Mr. Amoah explained Each region will receive a share of the new fleet, empowering local teams to better manage waste in their jurisdictions.
The company sees the intervention as crucial to tackling Ghana’s growing urban waste challenges, especially in rapidly expanding cities.
Partnership with MMDAs
Zoomlion continues to collaborate closely with Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to align local operations with national sanitation objectives.

Commitment to sustainability and long-term impact
