Honiara City Council (HCC) has received a significant boost to its waste management efforts, courtesy of the CAUSE Project handed over last Thursday 17th October 2024.
The donation includes essential tools aimed at improving the cleanliness and environmental hygiene of the city.
The contribution package comprises 100 wheely bins, 2000 plastic bags, 80 garden cracks, and 144 pairs of hand gloves.
These items are expected to enhance the efficiency of waste collection and disposal and aid in maintaining public spaces such as parks and streets.
Speaking at the handover ceremony, HCC Deputy Clerk Jefferson Patovaki on behalf of the Honiara City Council expressed gratitude for the CAUSE Project, noting that the council has been grabbing with waste management challenges due to limited resources.
“This donation will go a long way in improving our capacity to maintain a clean and healthy environment for the residents of Honiara,” he said.
The CAUSE Project, known for its community-focused initiatives, aims to support local authorities in sustainable urban development and waste management. The project hopes to contribute to a cleaner and greener Honiara by equipping the city with the necessary tools.
Residents are also encouraged to participate in maintaining cleanliness by using the provided bins and adhering to proper waste disposal practices.
This initiative marks a positive step towards addressing the growing waste disposal concerns in the capital.
