Duraplast Ghana Ltd. has honoured a request by the Mayor of Accra, Hon.Michael Kpakpo Allotey to support sanitation efforts in the metropolis with 20 waste bins to help curb littering and improve cleanliness in selected parts of the city.

The company’s Executive Director, Ms. Mireille Hitti accepted the request on Tuesday when the Mayor, accompanied by the Member of Parliament for Okaikwei South Constituency, Hon.

Speaking during the engagements, the Mayor said the Accra Metropolitan Assembly would be responsible for collecting waste deposited in the bins, explaining that the containers would be installed at selected locations across the city to improve sanitation and curb littering.

He noted that beyond the initial 20 bins, the Assembly was considering the placement of additional bins at strategic vantage points to expand access to proper waste disposal and enhance citywide cleanliness.

The Mayor appealed to residents and visitors to refrain from dumping refuse into drains and littering public spaces, stressing that such practices contributed to clogged gutters, environmental degradation, and unhealthy conditions.

He cautioned that persons who flouted sanitation regulations would be dealt with in accordance with the Assembly’s relevant by-laws, adding that enforcement would be sustained alongside public education to promote responsible waste disposal.
