Kwame Ekpe displaying a copy of the litterbags to journalists<\/strong><\/p>\n

DRIVERS of public vehicles will soon have
\nlitterbags affixed to their car seats as a means of controlling the waste in
\nthe country.<\/p>\n

Management of Gorsel SNT Co. Ltd has rolled out
\nan initiative dubbed, \u2018Clean Car, Clean
\nCity (4C)\u2019<\/em> \u2013 a project aimed at reducing wastes to their barest minimum in
\npublic vehicles, including Metro Mass and State Transport Corporation (STC).<\/p>\n

At a press conference on Wednesday, Kwame Ekpe, Director of Gorsel STN, outlined strategies the
\ncompany had put in place to ensure effective implementation of the project.<\/p>\n

These include the introduction of litterbags
\nwhich would be fixed to the back of car seats; the establishment of \u2018Xchange
\nPoints\u2019 with \u2018Precobins\u2019 at the various bus terminals to be manned by \u2018Litter
\nMarshalls\u2019, a group of trained and appropriately equipped attendants; and the
\ndeployment of \u201cKwik-movers\u201d, a removal team on call to ensure that the \u201cprecobins\u201d
\nat the various \u201cXchange Points\u201d do not get overfilled and possibly spill over.<\/p>\n

Mr Ekpe said following the pilot phase of the
\nproject in some STC vehicles, the feedback was positive with a significant
\nnumber of drivers and passengers asking when it would officially take-off.<\/p>\n

He added that user agencies such as the Ghana
\nPrivate Road Transport Union (GPRTU), the Progressive Transport Owners\u2019
\nAssociation (PROTOA), among others, had been co-operative except a few
\nindividual members of these agencies who had slowed down their pace.<\/p>\n

Besides, he said that he had written to and
\nengaged the Minister of Sanitation & Water Resources, and the Minister of
\nTransportation who had given their endorsements to the programme but are yet to
\nmake any concrete contribution to it.<\/p>\n

The litterbags are made of non-woven
\npolypropylene fabrics of various sizes. They are eco-friendly and have a number
\nof qualities which include non-toxicity, high tensile strength and
\nphotodegradable.<\/p>\n

Besides, they are non-water permeable, anti-bacterial,
\nnon-allergic and washable.<\/p>\n
