No going back on mandatory waste bin from Oct. 1 – LAWMA
The Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has given every household in the state until Oct. 1, 2022 to have a waste bin or face prosecution.
Mr Ibrahim Odumboni, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of LAWMA, gave the directive on Friday in Lagos during the third anniversary of Lagos Recycling Initiative (LRI).
Odumboni reiterated that every household in Lagos must have a waste bin by Oct. 1 or risk prosecution.
He added that by May 2023 the value of plastics per kilogramme would rise to N250.
Odumboni said that the Lagos State Government was deliberate in its vision to launch a modern recycling plan for the state.
According to him, when the initiative was launched in September 2019 many did not believe in the vision.
Odumboni said that three years down the line, that vision had now attracted many investors in the waste value chain, turning waste to wealth.
He expressed gratitude to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who keyed into the vision of reducing the landfills through the recycling initiative even before he was sworn in as governor.
