Gov’t planning to phase out ‘Aboboya’ with new waste collection system – Mahama Ayariga

The government is planning to phase out the use of 'Aboboya', a trycicle for household waste collection, as part of a new regulated system involving purpose-built waste collection vehicles and electronic payments.

The proposed system will use specially designed vehicles capable of collecting waste and automatically discharging it at transfer stations.

Larger trucks will then transport the waste from the stations to landfill sites, while new transfer stations are expected to be located within five kilometres of communities in major cities.
