Zoomlion Ghana Limited, a waste management company, last Saturday organised a clean–up exercise in the New Juaben Municipality.
The exercise, the biggest of its kind in the area in recent times, brought together workers from the company and personnel from the Fire and Police service led by the Municipal Police Commander, Superintendent John Naami. Personnel were supplied with the necessary equipment by Zoomlion to clear choked drainage, gutters and places where public functions are held.
These included the Jackson Park, the Central Police Station, the business area and the Residency.
After the exercise, the Eastern Regional Operational Director of Zoomlion, Mr Ernest Kusi told the press that although his outfit had been clearing the area of filth daily, it decided to do it on a large scale by supplying refuse collection equipment to personnel of the Police service, Fire Service and the assembly to cover a wide area in the municipality.
This, he said, was in line with a call from President John Evans Atta Mills for a clean environment especially in the metropolises and municipalities, which contained a large number of people with the attendant environmental challenges.
“As a waste management company, we have to respond to the call from the President for a clean environment, especially in the metropolitan and municipal areas where the people are so many and generate a lot of refuse, which should be regularly disposed,” Mr Kusi stated.
Mr Kusi, who asked the people to use the company’s numerous refuse bins placed at vantage points in the municipality, said that was the only way the area would be clean at all times.
He, however, gave the assurance that his outfit would continue with its daily exercises in the municipality and other parts of the region.
