Zoomlion Ghana Ltd., a giant in Africa’s waste management industry, has supported Buz Stop Boys, a voluntary sanitation group, to clean parts of the capital city.
This support included both technical and logistical assistance, such as a skip truck, shovels, tricycles (aboboya), and additional staff members. The clean-up exercise took place at the Spintex Road underbridge and its environs.
Speaking with the Public Relations and Corporate Affairs Manager of Zoomlion Private Services, Mr. Ernest Morgan Acquah, he explained that Zoomlion’s core function is to keep the cities clean. However, sanitation management is such a vast task that they decided to support the group and motivate them to do more.
“What they are doing is commendable, so we decided to support them with technical and logistical assistance,” he stated.
He advised the general public to continue using waste bins when disposing of waste and to avoid littering in drains.
He added that by doing so, they would contribute immensely to the reduction of Ghana’s health bill while at the same time promoting tourism.
The Founder and Leader of the Buz Stop Boys, Heneba Kojo Sarfo, on his part explained that the group is self-motivated with the aim of contributing to the city’s sanitation challenges by engaging in regular clean-up exercises.
He added that they started the exercise in Kasoa and are currently cleaning the Spintex catchment area.
He also advised the general public to desist from indiscriminate littering and practice good sanitation.
Buz Stop Boys has grown from an initial number of five to over 40 members.
With brooms, dustpans, and a strong sense of community spirit, the Bus Stop Boys have become a driving force for positive change.
Their initiative focuses on cleaning heavily trafficked areas, creating a cleaner and more welcoming environment for both residents and visitors.
The innovative use of social media to showcase their work and inspire others to join the movement sets the Buz Stop Boys apart.
With a growing presence on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, they document their cleaning efforts, before-and-after transformations, and engage with a rapidly expanding online community.
