New waste collection system introduced
Wednesday, 18 July 2012 08:56 Mabior Mach South Sudan >>> . The Japanese government through the Japan International Corporation Agency (JICA), is introducing a new waste collection system in Juba. The 'Fixed Time Fixed Station' system will see the introduction of plastic rubbish bins to residential areas. The rubbish will then be collected by garbage trucks at fixed times so as to manage waste disposal. JICA'S Chief Advisor for Solid Waste Management project, Kazuya Yao, said pilot projects will start next week in Atlabara C residential area and Jebel market before gradually extending to other areas. "Our collection improvement will be done both in the residential areas and for the markets. And one of the unique idea is to introduce the fixed time station collection. We are going to put the sign board in the area and truck the comes to pick up at that particular point. We already have started distributing some bins to the residents and they can bring the waste in the bins and they can put those wastes in the fixed station along the route which we are operating," said Kazuya. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
