Filth Surrounds Kaneshie Market

It is becoming a normal scene to sight heaps of refuse at the Kaneshie Market Complex.

The surrounding area is full of refuse deposited by traders, hawkers, shoppers and passengers.

The market, which can be described as one of most planned in the Accra Metropolis, does not have a single refuse bin placed at vantage points for individuals who trade or shop to deposit refuse.

And as a result, people indiscriminately litter the environment, resulting in heaps of rubbish in an area where health and hygiene is very important.

The traders told the Accra File that it is a daily ordeal to inhale bad odour from the heaps of refuse.

“Ah! This is nothing. You have not seen anything yet.

This is least of the refuse heaps you will find here,” one trader said.
