In a video on X, the young man said that since he started the waste collection business, he has used the returns to acquire other tricycles, which others use to work for him in the same industry.
“I love the waste collection than a woman because I love my hustle. Some people hide to do their work as for me I am not shy as a waste collector. If you are not married already, I wouldn’t advise you to get into waste collection because the ladies will tell you the job is demeaning.”
“But there is money in the waste collection business. Some bankers and people living in residential areas who do not have as much money as I do. As of now, I have seven tricycles operated by people from northern Ghana. They are using it to collect waste in Accra,” he added.
The young man encouraged the youth of the country not to rely on any politician or other people for jobs, but rather to be innovative and solve challenges around them.
