The city of Accra, like most medium to large human settlements in Ghana, have a big problem with improper disposal of solid waste, particularly plastic waste. The seemingly unmanageable plastic litter, apart from being an eyesore, gets washed into ( ... )
and chokes the latter leading to flooding of parts of Accra. Since the waste does not burn readily, it stays as litter in the drains until it is finally washed into the sea. In the sea, the plastic pose a danger to marine organisms, like sea turtles who mistaken them for jellyfish and feed on them. On land, the plastics are also consumed by domestic animals who get choked on them.
