Geo Pomona Waste Management started picking up trash from homes across Harare. The private company launched door-to-door garbage collection after the city council said it could not handle the job. Residents expressed happiness as they watched refuse trucks arrive at their neighborhoods. The service covers areas like the Central Business District, Budiriro and Glen View.
Government officials hired Geo Pomona after local authorities admitted they lacked capacity for waste management. The company already operates the Pomona dumpsite where workers build a waste-to-energy plant. The new contract expands their duties from managing the former dump to collecting garbage throughout the capital. Yesterday trucks visited regions 1 and 3 to gather household waste from different communities.
The partnership aims to help Harare regain its reputation as the Sunshine City. Herald reporters observed collection vehicles moving through various suburbs during their first day of operations. The waste management deal represents a significant step toward solving the capital's long-standing garbage problems.
