Plastic waste in floodwaters at Darkuman is a shame for our Capital – A Ghanaian’s Frustration

A concerned Ghanaian has expressed outrage over the alarming levels of plastic waste and filth seen during a flood at Darkuman Junction in Accra.

This incident occurred following heavy rainfall on Wednesday, September 25, drawing attention to the persistent environmental issues plaguing the capital city.

“Plastic wastes were floating in a flood that occurred this morning at Darkuman Junction in Accra. Yes, this is the capital of the country where people claim to be civilised,” the frustrated individual shared, accompanied by photos that vividly depict the grim reality of the situation.

The post has sparked a wave of discussions among Ghanaians who share similar concerns about waste management and its impact on the environment.

The images reveal a disturbing scene where plastic debris mingles with floodwaters, highlighting the consequences of inadequate waste disposal systems and urban planning.

As the city grapples with the recurring challenges posed by heavy rains, the community is left questioning the effectiveness of current policies aimed at addressing these critical issues.

Residents of Accra have been increasingly vocal about their dissatisfaction with the state of cleanliness in the city, emphasizing that the presence of such waste during floods not only damages infrastructure but also poses health risks.

As they demand more sustainable solutions, the question arises: what steps can be taken to improve waste management and mitigate the effects of flooding?
