We have earnestly began the process to implement the Harare waste collection project with an inspection of council facilities to assess the state of garages and parking spaces for refuse trucks.
This fact-finding tour was led by our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dr Dilesh Nguwaya together with top council officials.
The tour comes after we signed a waste collection agreement with the City of Harare and the Ministry of Local Government and Public Works.
Harare has for long been battling with uncollected garbage, resulting in the Government to step in by engaging private players to address the long-standing problem.
On Thursday, we visited City of Harare garages to explore ways to boost waste collection.
From the tour of council premises, we noted that many facilities need upgrades although they have potential for parking, servicing and fuelling refuse trucks.
It is exciting that we have been entrusted with waste collection in Harare.
The new trucks and equipment for the waste collection is expected to be delivered soon.
Dr Nguwaya, in a recent interview, said the equipment was expected to arrive arrive in Zimbabwe by the end of February.
He said: “We are fully prepared for this responsibility.”
“The necessary equipment has been procured, and by the end of February, all equipment is expected to arrive. The initiative will be officially launched by the President.”
