Ernest Morgan Acquah, Communications Manager of Zoomlion, has underscored the company\u2019s commitment to efficient waste collection and superior customer service in Ghana.<\/p>\n

Despite complaints from some customers about uncollected waste and unanswered calls,\u00a0Mr Acquah revealed in an interview with Bernard Avle on Citi TV\u2019s The Point of View<\/em> <\/strong>that they have blacklisted customers who have outstanding payments for several months.<\/p>\n

He dismissed assertions that the government is responsible for the payments of individuals\u2019 waste.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people who complain that over three months waste has not been collected, most people have been blacklisted, they are aware. We should know that the waste collection that we\u2019re doing is a private business. And individuals should also do their part.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndividuals have to pay for their waste, now most people think that there\u2019s a segment of waste that is paid by government and so their individual waste should be paid by government,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n

Mr Acquah explained that due to non-payment, they have implemented a \u2018pay as you dump\u2019 system in certain areas. He observed that many waste management companies fail because they do not receive adequate returns on their investments.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you talk of Ashaiman, part of Sahara in Ablekuma West, Oyarifa and some other areas, we\u2019ve resorted to pay as you dump. Because we service them on regular basis and at the end of the month, they don\u2019t pay. Most companies come into the waste management system, and they die out because the machinery they put in they don\u2019t get the money back, to continue do the work.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response to customers\u2019 difficulties in reaching the company, the Communications Manager of Zoomlion asked which numbers they had tried to call.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhich numbers did they call that they didn\u2019t get through to us? Most of our clients we send them text messages,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n
