Residents, most of whom do not have toilet facilities in their homes, have therefore resorted to the backward practice of defecating in surrounding bushes and in open spaces. They say the completion of a decent toilet facility, could help improve personal and environmental hygiene amongst them. Mmrantehene of Gyerkiti, kwadjo agyei said the absence of a toilet in the community accounted for the situation. With no refuse container for the people to dump their refuse into, they have no option but to create a refuse dump close to their homes. The Assemblyman and the residents feared the situation could lead to an outbreak of diseases and therefore appealed to the Asuogyaman District Assembly to assist them in relocating the refuse dump or provide them with refuse containers.
