Recycling is still limited in everyday life in Ghana, so travelers should not expect the kind of strict sorting systems found in some other countries; if you have recyclables, separate them only when a hotel, office, or local program clearly provides bins or instructions. In many places, waste is handled through informal collection and reuse, and plastic bottles,
sachets, and metal scrap are often gathered by waste pickers or small-scale recyclers rather than through a formal curbside system.
