The Collaboration is to re - purpose waste through this resource recovery program to reduce the volume of waste sent to the landfill which has almost reached its lifespan. Just 7years instead of the proposed 20years .More so, Accra also depends on it by hauling its waste there .The journey to begins re-purposing of waste at source from the basic level is a good initiative in this time of climate and ecological emergency so that in the next 10years ,we can achieve the global goals for 2030. It will save cost and also reduce the unhygienic way of scavenging for materials in the landfill before transporting them back for processing. Four kinds of waste is to be recovered are 1. Paper ,cartons and cardboard to be re-purposed into toilet rolls for our public toilets at schools and offices. 2. Plastics turned into pavement blocks by Nelplast Ghana Limited and aluminum cans turned into coking pots (all in Ashaiman) 3. Glass will be recycled into beads and 4.the Organic waste is to be composted on-site or available space within the community. Its is anticipated that progressively, other Assemblies will emulate this project of progress from the centre on the world in the quest to make Ghana the cleanest city in Africa through technology transfer and community engagement with a malleable degree of enforcement.
