Hysacam sends garbage trucks to Cameroon amid funding issues
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Hygiène et Salubrité du Cameroun (Hysacam), a waste management company in Cameroon, shipped over 100 garbage trucks to the country as part of a larger order.
Garba Ahmadou, Hysacam’s regional director for the Centre region, stated the shipment occurred on October 14, 2026, in Yaoundé. The capital city will initially receive 30 trucks to add to the existing 90 vehicles used for waste collection.
Hysacam originally planned for the new vehicles to be operational by September 2026, with 120 trucks designated for Douala, a major city in Cameroon. However, the company now focuses on shipments rather than full deployment of the trucks. Hysacam initiated the procurement of 305 vehicles in October 2025, but the company has not revealed how many trucks have arrived or are currently in service, making it hard to gauge the program’s progress. The company continues to face funding shortfalls.
