Água Grande town hall will roll out a new waste collection programme, with collections planned twice a day in five areas. Rounds will take place from 7am to 10am and then from 4pm to 6pm, according to the schedule released by the São Tomé and Príncipe town hall.

The Água Grande town hall in São Tomé will organise waste collection twice a day in several areas of the district, with rounds scheduled from 7am to 10am and then from 4pm to 6pm. The scheme will cover five zones including Pantufo, São Marçal, Pedra Pedra, São João da Vargem, Praia Francesa and the Hôpital neighbourhood, according to Rádio Somos Todos Primos.

The programme foresees that the town hall’s 10 vans will be able to pass through the various neighbourhoods so that residents no longer have to take their waste to the containers themselves. Councillor Gilson da Conceição called on the population to take part in the initiative and said the town hall also planned to replace the containers and improve working conditions for its staff, reports Rádio Somos Todos Primos.

The Água Grande town hall had received two vans and 30 containers under the WACA+ project, aimed at strengthening waste collection. This allocation had been announced on 11 November.
