The truck, as spotted in the video, looked like the Dongfeng Shacman Homo Jac 7000, which is fitted with advanced waste management technology.

It is not known how much the Dormaahene paid for the refuse truck, but the supposed model costs between $18,900.00 (GH¢301,445.55) to $25,800.00 (GH¢411,497.10).

If used effectively and efficiently, the refused truck acquired by Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II could help to enhance waste collection and disposal in the entire Bono land.
