Mr Joshua Tettey-Nortey, the Local Coordinator of Holistic Reinforcement Sustainable Development (HORESD), has disclosed that 15,000 Euros would be given to five plastic waste collectors for them to employ others in the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly.

He added that five persons would be selected from a 20-member group that would be taken through an orientation course regarding the collection of plastic waste.

Mr Tettey-Nortey made this known during a public forum organized by the KMA in partnership with HORESD with participants from Camara City of Praia from Cape Verde and Mancomuitat de la Ribera Alta in Spain.

The Mayor, Mr Samuel Pyne indicated that the project would provide compact trucks, containers, pilot recycle and composting plants to support communities to reduce, recycle and recover waste.

He added that, the project would create jobs as the waste would be transformed into fertilizer as well as generate electricity from waste by promoting source-separation of waste at markets, homes and communal dumpsites.
