Solid waste management costs our Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) about 60 percent of the assemblies' internally generated funds (IGF) annually in Ghana. Undoubtedly, the Accra School of Hygiene happened to be the first institution set up during colonial rule in 1935. It was aimed at ensuring preventive health, thus preventing communicable diseases. Cities in Ghana are today suffering from unhygienic conditions due to a lack of best practices for centralizing waste storage within the communities. The collection of solid waste on time remains a challenge, largely due to the rate at which waste is generated within our households and communities. Although not as deadly and risky as dumping tons of toxic waste around the city borders, overflowing waste containers are still a great bane and a risk to our health and environment. Segregation of solid waste also remains a challenge, as all solid wastes are mixed together in our bins at home and within our communities. If you are a household or business owner, overflowing bins pose an ever greater danger. Through education, we present the outcomes of overflowing garbage bins and suggest how modern technology can ease the problems by increasing the efficiency of waste collection and informing waste handlers before the bins overflow. It has been reported that city authorities in Ghana spend about GHc 6.7 million (US$3.45 million) annually on the collection and transport of waste for disposal and GHc 550,000.00 (US$0.28 million) per month to pay waste contractors and for landfill maintenance.
