LANDFILLS

A landfill is a hole for dumping area for collected waste.
Ghana does not have a properly managed landfill system. The country currently has these main landfill sites, namely; kpone landfill, Oti landfill (in Kumasi), and the Abokobi controlled dump. Landfills normally contain food, fabric, plastic, liquid, glass, and chemical waste. These wastes contribute in producing greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Reducing and preventing waste can promote productivity and sustainable environment to tackle climate change in the long run.
