LCC EMBARKS ON CONSTRUCTING MODERN GARBAGE BAYS AT NEW SOWETO AND MOBILE MARKETS
The Lusaka City Council - LCC has embarked on a project to construct modern garbage bays at New Soweto and Mobile Markets, in its quest to improve waste management systems at the two markets.
The Local Authority has contracted Shungu Construction Limited to undertake the works at the site, and the company has since commenced some excavation works.
The project, which is being funded at a total contract sum of K 180,000 for each garbage bay, commenced on 13th November 2023 and is expected to be completed and commissioned by 13th January 2024.
The initiative will benefit the traders in both markets and customers by providing them with a clean and safe environment for their business.
The project will also reduce the risk of diseases and pests that are associated with poor waste management and further improve the aesthetic appeal and the image of the markets, which will attract more customers and boost the income of the traders.
The council will continue to strive to contribute to the national goal of achieving a clean, green, and healthy Zambia by coming up with such waste management initiative.
