Waste Collection & Trash Pickup in Takoradi
Sekondi-Takoradi has grown quickly, with new homes on the edges of Anaji and Apremdo, offices serving the oil and gas industry, and busy markets around Market Circle. TrashDrop helps residents and businesses across the twin city book waste collection that actually turns up, with a verified collector you can track on the map.
Coastal humidity makes uncollected rubbish smell fast. With TrashDrop you can request a trash pickup as soon as your bag is full, rather than waiting for a fixed collection day.
How the QR Bag works in Takoradi
The QR Bag System suits Takoradi households that want regular rubbish collection without chasing a collector. Scanning the QR code on your bags links them to your address, and each pickup is logged automatically.
