Geo Pomona Waste Management started collecting trash from homes across Harare. The company received new garbage trucks from Belarus through government funding. Workers began clearing dump sites and picking up waste from neighborhoods around the city. Residents welcomed the service after twenty years of overflowing garbage problems. Many people worried about diseases from uncollected trash piling up everywhere.
Mellisa Mavhuwani from Glenview praised the changes happening around her area. She said the community suffered long periods without proper waste removal services. Tinashe Kanonge noticed trucks working and dump sites getting cleaned up. He believes people will stop throwing garbage illegally after seeing the improvements. Workers promised to deliver bins and collect waste every Wednesday from homes.
Harare City Council failed to maintain regular garbage pickup for many years. Trash accumulated at public spaces and illegal dumping areas throughout the capital. President Emmerson Mnangagwa attended a ceremony last week at the Pomona dump site. The event featured the new fleet of waste collection vehicles. Geo Pomona plans to expand services to towns across all provinces.
