Waste collection
• Primary collection service providers (pcsps) utilize the house-to-
house waste collection method to collect garbage from people's
homes and residential buildings.
• Around 76 rickshaw vans are used to collect solid wastes.
• A number of people are assigned by the corporation for street
sweeping and collection of waste found in places other than waste
bin, road side, open spaces, ditches etc. By hand trolley.
• Although some new pair bins have been installed in various locations,
one is green for biodegradable waste and the other is yellow for non-
biodegradable waste, the municipality area’s dustbins are not
hygienic.

Akua area which recycle 13% of the municipal
organic waste.
• Some informal recycle centers recycle 3-5% of
inorganic materials.
