At the end of the assessment, he said, it was concluded that the contractors alone could not execute the task, hence the recognition given to the tricycles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c30 per cent of the waste collected in Accra are collected by the tricycles. When you don\u2019t have enough equipment then you have to rely on other means like the tricycles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn every area, you have a contractor there but the capacity of the contractors is not enough to be able to deal with the waste generated. And that is why the tricycles are filling the gap.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we did an assessment of how waste is collected between 2011 and 2016 we just came to the conclusion that the capacity of private contractors is not enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Monday, 8 April 2019 Source: classfmonline.com 2019-04-08 A tricycle at a dumpsite Tricycle operators, popularly known in the local parlance as \u2018Aboboyaas\u2019 involved in the waste collection business, are able to collect 30 per cent of the total waste generated in Accra, Mohammed Adjei Sowah, Mayor of Accra, has said.
