Monrovia City Mayor John Charuk Siafa conducted an extensive inspection of ongoing waste disposal projects across the city on Saturday.
The visit was part of a broader effort to assess the progress of these projects, identify areas for improvement, and keep the public informed about the city’s waste management efforts.
One of the significant projects inspected was the Cheesemanburg Landfill Urban Sanitation Project, which features the construction of a chain-link fence and a community access road.
This project, valued at US$1,887,000 is crucial to the city’s strategy to improve waste disposal infrastructure. The proposed landfill in Cheesemanburg, covering an estimated 2,000 acres, is set to become the primary disposal site for Monrovia, as the city government works to keep the capital clean and green.
In line with this effort, a 1.9-kilometer road is also being constructed to facilitate the relocation of the Wein Town Landfill to Cheesemanburg.
Mayor Siafa also visited the ongoing rehabilitation projects at the Stockton Creek and Fiamah transfer stations. The Stockton Creek project is valued at US$137,125, while the Fiamah project stands at US$208,225.06.
Both projects are part of the city’s broader plan to enhance waste management infrastructure.
Accompanied by waste disposal site managers and staff, Mayor Siafa’s inspection underscores his administration’s commitment to sustainable waste management practices that prioritize the health and well-being of Monrovia’s residents.
His proactive approach to environmental stewardship aligns with the city’s goal to maintain high standards for a healthier and more sustainable urban environment.
