The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has stated its plans to begin the sealing of homes which do not have waste bins on Lagos Island and Mainland beginning from July 7, 2023.
This was stated in a statement issued on Wednesday by Kunle Adebiyi, the Executive Director, Finance of LAWMA.
According to Adebiyi, the decision was arrived at following an earlier issuance of abatement notices to the affected communities two months ago.
Adebiyi called on property owners and occupants to obtain adequate garbage bins for their residences, noting that they’ve been aforewarned to obtain conventional waste bins
He said, “It is crucial for residents to cultivate proper environmental habits and support the efforts of the Authority to establish a cleaner and more livable environment.
“By taking action against violations and ensuring compliance, we can create a sustainable environment, and help build a city of our dream.”
