Special bins have been arranged in different locations to increase plastics collection rates. This initiative which was spearheaded by Voltic – a founding member of GRIPE – in 2018 is deployed through a partnership between GRIPE, Total Ghana and Coliba. On this project, Total Ghana provided a space for our recycling bins at their various filling stations. A few bins were also disposed of at other locations. Waste pickers were then assigned to each location to pick-up the material collected. Consumers are sensitized to segregate their waste at home before taking their plastics to one of our containers. This allows waste pickers to have access to clean and non-polluted recycling materials at virtually no cost for them.
