Sunyani: The Bono Regional Office of Zoomlion Ghana Limited, a prominent waste management and sanitation company, has recently acquired five new skip-trucks to bolster waste collection and sanitation efforts across the region. This strategic move is expected to significantly enhance the efficiency of waste management services provided by the company.
According to Ghana News Agency, Mr. Benedict Awuah, the Bono Regional Coordinator of Zoomlion, unveiled the new trucks in Sunyani, highlighting their role as a vital addition to the existing fleet. The trucks are intended to facilitate better waste collection by serving as a backup, ensuring uninterrupted services across the Bono Region.
