The project aims to address the pressing issue of municipal solid waste management in Freetown, the capital city. The project involves the installation and operation of a modern pet incinerator plant and the development of a sustainable waste management system.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>How It Works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The Pet Incinerator plant utilizes state-of-the-art technology to safely and efficiently incinerate municipal waste.
