Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia, faces challenges regarding the accumulation of dirt on its streets and roads. Due to rapid urbanization and increased population density, the city struggles to keep up with waste management. The lack of efficient waste disposal systems and insufficient public awareness contribute to the accumulation of dirt materials and waste.


The lack of cleanliness in the city and the accumulation of dirt not only detract from its visual appeal but also expose the public to health and environmental risks. Therefore, it is imperative to take prompt action to improve the waste disposal systems and promote responsible waste management practices among the residents.
