Agona West Municipal Assembly is to introduce door-to-door collection of refuse as a means of controlling indiscriminate disposal of refuse into gutters and drains.
This was disclosed by the Municipal Chief Executive in the area, Mrs. Marigold Assan, during the National Sanitation Day exercise at Agona Swedru last week Saturday.
