How Much Does Waste Pickup Cost in Accra?
Waste pickup prices vary based on bin size, waste volume, location and whether the collection is scheduled or requested on demand.
Current 2026 Accra market rates show weekly pickup for a 240-litre household bin at about GH₵30–GH₵32.50 per pickup, while on-demand pickup is around GH₵40–GH₵50. Commercial 1,100-litre dumpster pickups can start around GH₵150 per pickup.
Another Accra provider currently lists approximately GH₵60 for a 240L pickup, GH₵90 for 360L, GH₵130 for 660L and GH₵200 for 1,100L.
These are market examples and not fixed prices for every waste collection provider.
Regular Waste Pickup
Regular waste pickup is suitable for homes, apartments, residential estates and businesses that generate waste consistently.
You can arrange a weekly or otherwise agreed collection schedule based on how quickly your bins fill up. Regular collection can also be more economical per pickup than requesting individual on-demand collections.
On-Demand Waste Pickup
On-demand pickup is useful when you have additional waste that needs to be removed outside your normal collection schedule.
The process generally involves:
- Providing your location in Accra
- Selecting the appropriate bin or waste volume
- Booking a pickup
- Confirming the collection date
- Having the waste collected
- Transportation and appropriate disposal or recovery
Several waste companies in Accra offer on-demand collection services.
Bulk Waste Pickup in Accra
If you have a large amount of waste after moving, renovating, cleaning a property or clearing an office, a bulk waste pickup may be more appropriate than ordinary bin collection.
Bulk pickup can involve larger vehicles and additional loading labour. The final price will depend on the amount and type of waste, accessibility of the property and transportation requirements.

- Offices
- Restaurants
- Hotels
- Shops
