He added the assembly could use the money for reclaiming landfills if the residents avoid disposing of waste anyhow.
Also, the Western North Regional Coordinator for ZoomLion, Isaac Banful said the reclamation of landfills exercise will eradicate some diseases and mosquitoes breeding in the community.
