City of Harare to borrow $30 million to buy refuse trucks

The city of Harare has been granted permission by the government to borrow $30 million. The money will be used to buy 30 compactors for the collection of rubbish. Some of the money will be used to aid other departments of the City of Harare. The city’s corporate communications manager Mr Michael Chideme yesterday said:

We are now awaiting delivery.

We are geared to improve service delivery and retain Harare’s sunshine status in terms of cleanliness and general ambience. The 30 trucks will augment the existing fleet which is suffering constant breakdowns because of old age.

We are at various stages of procuring other various pieces of equipment.
