Geo Pomona Waste Management Company has taken another major step in strengthening Harare’s waste management systems following the arrival of an additional fleet of specialised equipment. The new machinery which include compactor skippers, sweepers, and skip trucks was delivered on Saturday from Beira, Mozambique, marking a significant boost to the company’s operational capacity.
The latest arrivals are expected to improve refuse collection efficiency across the capital and reinforce ongoing efforts to restore Harare’s iconic “Sunshine City” status. Since its inception, Geo Pomona has been playing a central role in modernising waste management, introducing new technologies, expanding manpower, and refurbishing long-neglected waste collection structures.
In an interview with the media, Geo Pomona Chief Executive Officer, Dr Dilesh Nguwaya, said the investment demonstrated the company’s commitment to delivering world-class waste management services nationwide.
“This acquisition is part of our strategy to enhance our ability to carry out our mandate. The 56 new pieces of equipment offer a diverse range of capabilities to conduct waste management and refuse collection. With their addition, we are approaching an optimal level to deliver on our mandate,” he said.
The new machinery adds to a growing fleet of compactors, skip trucks, and sweepers that were commissioned by President Emmerson Mnangagwa in May this year. This expansion signals the Second Republic’s prioritisation of sanitation, environmental rehabilitation, and the modernisation of urban spaces.
Beyond equipment upgrades, major aesthetic improvements are also underway at the Geo Pomona Waste-to-Energy Site. Beautification works are progressing, while a state-of-the-art restaurant being built within the complex is nearing completion. This development is expected to transform the site into a modern, multifunctional space that blends waste-to-energy innovation with public engagement.
Recently, the company further strengthened its manpower by hiring over 400 street sweepers, who are working alongside Harare City Council employees from the Waste Management Department. This partnership has improved cleanliness in several suburbs and central business districts, reflecting a strong, coordinated approach to urban sanitation.
With fresh equipment, expanded staff, and renewed commitment, Geo Pomona is positioning itself as a central force in reshaping Harare’s waste management landscape and driving the city closer to reclaiming its bright, clean, and vibrant reputation.
