The waterways being heavily utilized now to decongest the road.

Btw, those trucks are made in nigeria

Yet everytime I see Ghana video - all I see is TRASH, GARBAGE - including right to the ocean. Do people even swim in the altantic?

Explain this garbage river.

those videos were done 2 months ago

Basically rubbish collection is none existent in kenya.


Here in Ghana, even the poorest of communities have waste bins

The last time we have a clean up Accra campaign like in your videos, it was the evacuation of waste from the last landfill site in Accra and the site was shut down.

That happened almost 10 years ago.

Yes in poor neighberhood like those - sometimes county have issues - workers striking - name it. Those people are too poor or disorganized to pay private garbage collection.

The problem is now largely sorted - but ongoing challenge.

For rest of Nairobi - garbage is non issues - because private garbage collectors do the job.

Now county gov is giving private garbage collectors contractors - so the problem will be sorted in those areas.

We have posted gazillion pictures and videos of Nairobi - how many times do you see garbage.
You are talking about Ghana and Nigeria - NOT KENYA.

Here is works in kenya - County gov collect garbage mostly in lower class estates. This normally where there is problem if county gov doesn't do a good job. County gov also collect rubbish in streets - and public spaces.

In the rest of Nairobi (we are talking 95% of Nairobi landmass) - garbage collection is privatized. Every household pays something like 3-5 dollars per month. The private companies give your black polythene bag(s) for the week. You fill up you bag - and there is collection date - say Tuesday for your estate - and so you put the black polythene bag outside your gate.

They pick it - put it on the truck - and they take it to Dandora dumpsite.

At the dumpsite - poor people sort the waste - sell it to recycles - and the rest is stockpilled by county gov escavators.

The plan now is to have huge power plant.

But to imagine having little dumpsite all over like Accra - burning garbage - garbage smelling and rotting away - is to completely BASTADARDIZE the City.

I even doubt you have working sewarage system.

Guy no serious country operates a land filled site

Most have closed them down for recycling

All collected waste ends up with recyclers.


Kenyan homes dont have waste bins, all the waste generated in kenyan homes litters their environment and the little that gets collected, ends up at various smelly unfilled sites and burning starts, polluting everywhere.


The only poor country here is kenya
A country that connot even build recycling plants to handle it waste, who thinks that waste recycling is only a thing for the Europeans.

Kenya couldn't even afford to operate an engineered landfill site

In Ghana, we are done with those old ways of handling waste, even though most of our landfill sites where engineered landfills.

All organic waste are composted and all inorganic waste are recycled.

Precisely. Minister of Sanitation

tylann:
Uganda has 80 ministers that is how patronage works

Why would private collectors not collect. There is hardly anything recycle from that waste btw. Look for people you can fool.

Just30:
Covid resulted in a non-collection of market waste for a period of 2 weeks

that ended long ago

So rather than one landfill - you want to litter the entire city with little land fills - and small recylers. Not all the waste is re-cyled. What do you do with solid waste. You start fires all over town. No wonder you city look like Nigeria - smoky.

What is there to recycle in poor country like Ghana? Deal with SOLID Waste.

Ours is simple. All rubbish is collected and taken to one landfill. They guys who collect include private companies. From there it can be sorted - and burnt.Nairobi generates 2,500 tonnes of solid waste daily - so annually that would be 900K tonnes.

Just30:
Sorry kiddo

our recyclers now handle 900,000 metric tonnes of waste generated yearly, those are not little recyclers.

The plan to make Accra clean has been the closing down of all landfill sites in favours of recycling.


You cant have a clean city with landfill sites around.
That goes to Kenya

Kenya has a huge waste collection problem, the management of waste is even horrible.
Hence why the country is so filthy

The hobbits are truly cursed. Kenya has 20 ministers - and these guys have 120 MINISTERS. Cabinet meeting I guess is held on HALL.

The Government appointed 120 ministers and more including the position for a sanitation Minister, which the opposition NDC does not accept.

I wonder how cabinet meeting are held

WHAT HELL Is wrong with GHANIAN GOV And YOU. HONESTLY.

Ive watch rubbish littered everywhere in kenya and it is worse than that of Nigeria.

Yet plastic use and the pollution from its has grown massively into 2021.


Here in Ghana, all communities have their own private waste collection companies that comes to your house to collect waste twice a week.

All collected waste ends up in various recycling facilities around the country


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNOEhLVYZR4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG563OprWDA


There are bins in every home in Ghana


While all the waste generated by kenyans are left in their communities and the little that gets collected ends up in landfill sites all around the country.


Ghana has closed down all it landfill sites in favour of recycling facilities springing up all around the country to recycle waste.

Lame. I have watched videos of accra - and the rubbish littered everywhere is just like Nigeria cities.

Nobody can carry plastic bag in Kenya because the fine is 10,000USD.

Now next challenge - some me the waste collection system and whole recycling in video.

First start with bins in every corner - for all type of materials - YOU CANNOT PULL THAT - if most of Europe cannot pull that (san Switzerland) - you think DIRTY GHANA can do it.

Just30:
Ive already given you videos in 2020 and 2019 of plastic pollution

Now you want pics?


My cities are already clean and Ghana will not ban plastics because we have an effective waste collection system which end up straight at waste recycling facilities.


All electronic waste currently end up at the 3 electronic waste recycling facilities

All metal products waste ends up at steel plants and segregated into their various metal elements.

Try find a picture of plastic bag in kenya post 2015. We had most successfully ban and enforcement of plastic bag.

Yes Dandora dumpsite will generate power.

Now tells us about Ghana - 1) When are you cleaning your dirty cities 2) When are you banning plastic bags and 3) generating power from it.

Let's not talk about toxic e-waste for now.

https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/bd/news/counties/building-of-energy-plant-dandora-waste-to-start-3249122
The plan to set up an energy plant to recycle waste at Dandora dumpsite is set to kick off this month, the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) has said.

NMS Director General Mohammed Badi said the tendering process for the power plant, which is being implemented by NMS together with KenGen, will commence this month.

Just30:
Yet, as at 2020 you guys were still waiting for that plastic bag ban and enforcement.

Landfill site is a thing of the past


In this 21st century, you either recycle or you incinerate them to generate electricity.

Yes unless the quarrystones are very near.

leQubit:
nice but kinda looks expensive

Kenya banned plastic bags in 2015. We have largely clean up the filth.

All rubbish in Nairobi end up in Dandora landfill. Soon we will generate power from it.

Dandora has 3 times it capacity - but power station coming soon - it will be fine

And they majorly gets collected and recycled


Kenya's own problem is worse and uncomparable to any country, because they all end up on land fill sites and in kenyan communities uncollected.

Developed your neighbourhood streets so you can compete with the likes of Takoradi at your best

For longest time - Kenya cities didn't pay attention to paving walkways - but I am glad this now changing - Kisumu and Nairobi have taken the lead.

Rwanda has taught us these "small things" are low hanging fruit.

Takoradi and shitty Ghanian cities have long way - first deal with plastic bags, rubbish everywhere, etc

The man from Soweto...will disagree despite posting a very humble residence - as is profile. What does a slumdog like you really know. You looked like you're addicted to drugs btw.

Austine1213:
Lol far from the truth

Kibera is 5kms2. Soweto is 200kms. Kibera sit literally next to Upperhill, Kilimani and Langata. They have all that. Maybe they just luck the money.
Kibera is small slum - and everyone there has electricity - and the roads are paved mostly. They are going to pave more - if they can find a path.

Austine1213:
Lol like wise I was hoping you'd say that send a footage of those

Show me kibera malls
Show me kibera stadium
Show me kibera university
Show me how roads are all paved
Show me how it is electrified
Etc

Lol

Kenya almost as developed as South Africa - this blogger claims. I couldn't agree more.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6hSPWo033Y?t=308

You ran to neighberhoods - which is fuzzy definition. Nairobi rich estates are huge. Karen for examples is 13,000 acres - plus. Runda is 5,000 acres plus.

Nairobi upper middle and high class estates occupy roughly half of Nairobi. The middle class are mostly saddled with Low class in Nairobi Eastland. The slums are hidden in river valleys and forest edges.

Nairobi is really divided into two parts. The eastland and the westland. along mostly Thika superhighway and then you branch to Mombasa road (Nairobi expressway - anything to the west of that line is upper middle and high end.

Then Nairobi Metro - or Nairobi bedroom - host maybe 2-3m people. These are places like Kitengela, Kiambu, Rongai, Thika, Machakos, etc and others

Nairobi has Les than 50 neibourhoods and a rapid growth of slums

Slum shanties I doubt. Kibera largest is barely 200K - and that is Kibera that include Ngumo and Woodley. But yes I think about max of 1M people live in Nairobi shanties - slums slums. Kibera, Mathare, Mukuru, Korogocho, Kawangware.

Most of Nairobean lives in "Slumscrappers" like Pipeline, Donholm, karibiongi, Kasarani

Slums by world standards. Very POSH by West Africa standards.

Wuoche:
Only 36% of Nairobians live in slums

Soweto is slum. It depend on the definition of slum. Most of Nairobi eastland are definitely better than Soweto and yet it slum.

Eastland videos are available. It host 60% of Nairobi. They are high density slumscrapper by developed world standards. They are better than anything in West Africa.

Eastland videos are all over...and the people living - stats are available.

These is where most Nairobeans live - Eastland

People living in Shanties in kenya - which occupy 2% of landmass in very tiny houses CANNOT HOLD 60% of Nairobi. PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE.

Austine1213:
Kenyan state statistics, UNDP, world Bank, various academic researches etc says:

60% of nairobi residents live in slums, it has been well documented

Nairobi has Les than 50 neibourhoods and a rapid growth of slums

I think Soweto and Joburg black township are comparable to Nairobi's eastland.
Although I think Nairobi eastland is mostly better Soweto.
Nairobi eastland because it mostly high rise host 2-3M people.

Now like Nairobi - Joburg have little slums - all over. In Nairobi you'll find few slums in west of Nairobi (Kibera (largest), then small one 1 or 5 acres - Kangemi, Kawangware, deepstate and one in runda (1 acre). In the east of Nairobi - you'll find slums like Mukuru, Mathare, Korogocho and Soweto.

Austine1213:
I love the fact that you actually comparing Soweto to Nairobi

Did you know all roads in soweto are paved, electrified, tap water, 4g n 5g network, has biggest hospital in africa, biggest stadium in africa, BRT, world class university, etc

That's something Nairobi your supposedly best cannot boast of.

Soweto is a slum by developed world standards. It's not a slum by African standards.

Listen to your fellow Kenyan lol

Very much doubt. That is like 200km square of low lying slum. That is huge. And no whiteman stay there.

For example - Nairobi - at the very bottom- illegal slums dwelling/shanties - occupy about 5% of built up area- and combined host less than 1m people in Nairobi.

Next is Eastland (Soweto like) - this one host 60% of Nairobi -low middle and some middle class estates- It's better than Soweto - they are high rises - and not sprawling slumpolis like Soweto.

Then west of Nairobi are middle and upper class - that occupy more than half of Nairobi landmass...basically running from the north (Garden estate) to the south (karen)
