History

The J Stanley-Owusu Group has its roots in 1961, when it operated for a while as J Stanley-Owusu Contract Works supplying raw materials for construction.  The first affiliate company of the group, J Stanley-Owusu & Company Limited, was established on 11 July 1964 and incorporated on 4 February 1970, pioneering Ghanaian waste management, and leading the way in the development of the industry. The visionary and hardworking entrepreneurship of the Chairman and CEO, J Stanley-Owusu, motivated him to continue to add value, expanding nationwide in all aspects of developmental initiatives - public health and safety, construction and related activities, hydrological engineering, mining, real estate and hospitality - to support nation building through the establishment of purpose-driven affiliate companies. We continue to build on that legacy, driven by the desire to do right for today and tomorrow.

Our service offering covers:

Recycling

JSO's integrated waste management capability features the recovery of important recyclable materials such as glass, paper and metals from the household waste stream to assist local communities in meeting government targets. We work with customers to find best value integrated solutions which put the delivery of recycling and landfill diversion targets at the heart of their waste management options. We also manage a network of household waste recycling sites on behalf of our Metropolitan, Municipal and District assemblies. These sites are the first port of call for members of the public in recycling and disposing of bulky items and household waste, which is then reused to add value to the local community's waste management strategy.

Landfill

The balance between landfill disposal, existing and new forms of waste treatment is changing rapidly. With this in mind we recognise that the conversion into a valuable secondary resource is vital. At JSO we are helping our customers make this change as more and more waste will be recycled over time. Value will be gained from the recycled waste, where gases are extracted in order to generate energy. Throughout this period of change, JSO is committed to providing a landfill disposal service for residual waste in a safe and responsible manner.
