The Oti Landfill is an engineered sanitary landfill facility at Oti near Dompoase on the outskirts of Kumasi. The landfill was commissioned in January 2004, under the Urban Environmental Sanitation Project (UESP I) financed by the World Bank. There are three landfill phases at the site.
The facility occupies 40 Ha of land.
The site reportedly receives 1200 – 1300 metric tonnes of waste per day; less than the reported 1500 metric tonnes generated daily.
