Dear Editor,

I take great pride in wit­nessing the country’s ongoing development. However, amidst this progress, there is a press­ing issue that I feel compelled to address.

In recent times, I have observed a concerning level of filth in several major cities, including Accra, Kumasi, and Takoradi.

While I acknowledge that other regions also face similar challenges, I wish to focus my attention on these three urban centres.

The sight of litter strewn across streets and public spac­es is disheartening and dimin­ishes the overall beauty of our cities. It is imperative that we take proactive measures to address this issue and uphold cleanliness standards.

One practical step towards achieving this goal is the wide­spread provision of dustbins in strategic locations throughout these areas.

By installing dustbins in key public areas, such as mar­ket places, parks, and busy streets, we can encourage residents and visitors alike to dispose of their waste respon­sibly.

This simple yet effective solution has the potential to significantly reduce littering and contribute to a cleaner environment for all.

I appeal to both the govern­ment and Zoomlion to priori­tise the provision of dustbins in these identified areas.

Together, let us work to­wards creating cleaner, health­ier, and more aesthetically pleasing cities for present and future generations to enjoy.

Maxwell Ahenkorah,

Kumasi.
