Accra Flooded Again. What If We Could Prevent the Next One?

Flooding doesn't start when it rains. It starts when drains are blocked, waste is dumped illegally and hazards go unreported. Every day we see the problems. Now, let's be part of the solution.

TrashDrop flyer: "Accra flooded again. But what if we could prevent the next one?" Cars driving through a flooded Accra road, with the TrashDrop report screen and live reports map, and how TrashDrop works in six steps.
First shared on the TrashDrop Facebook page.

Flooding starts before the rain

Flooding doesn't start when it rains. It starts when drains are blocked, waste is dumped illegally and hazards go unreported. Every day, we see the problems: illegal dumping, blocked drains, choked waterways and overflowing waste.

How TrashDrop works

1. You report: take a photo, and we capture the location. 2. It's mapped: your report appears on a live map instantly. 3. Authorities act: issues are reviewed and cleanup tasks are assigned. 4. Cleanup happens: teams navigate to the location and get the job done. 5. Work verified: before and after photos confirm the cleanup was completed. 6. Problem solved: cleaner communities, safer streets, fewer floods.

Why it matters

Reporting helps prevent floods before they happen, gets a faster response from authorities, and builds cleaner neighbourhoods and stronger, more resilient communities.

We all have a role to play

Dispose of waste responsibly. Keep drains clear. Report hazards. Protect waterways. Together, we can build a cleaner, safer and flood-resilient Accra. See it. Report it. Let's prevent it.
