The Upper East Regional branch of Zoomlion Ghana has noted that it will complete the much-anticipated Integrated Recycling and Compost Plant at the Sherigu community in 2022.
It could be recalled that President Akufo-Addo in October 2020 cut sod for the commencement of the Integrated Recycling and Compost Plant at Sherigu with a timeframe of six months for its completion but that has not been materialised.
The reason, the Upper East Regional Manager of Zoomlion Ghana Mr John Sackey blamed the delays on minor issues at the community level. He explained that the concerns have been addressed allowing work to begin.
“The contractor is on-site and they are doing the contraction. I believe that next year it will not be long we will be able to use the site. I know other places have begun testing their plant and we will soon join them”, he added.
With much assurance that effective work will begin next year in terms of waste processing, the manager explained further that apart from the recycling plant which would prepare organic compost, there would be a landfill site for waste that can neither be composted nor recycled to appropriately be disposed of.
Mr Sackey made the known at Holy Ghost Temple of the Assemble of God Church in Bolgatanga, as part of the company’s annual ‘Thanks Given Service’ initiative.
The initiative, the manager said usually offer them (workers of the company) the opportunity to give praise to the Maker (God) for His protection over the year.
Mr Sackey, therefore, used the opportunity to encourage residents to see waste management as a collective effort and a way of preventing diseases at their various homes and business surroundings.
