The Lagos Waste Management Authority has announced a compliance operation requiring residents and businesses in Apapa-Iganmu communities to present proof of payment to their assigned Private Sector Participant waste operators.
The
initiative, tagged “Show Your PSP Payment Receipt,” was disclosed in a
statement shared on the Lagos State Government’s official social media
platforms on Monday.
The
Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of LAWMA, Muyiwa Gbadegesin, said the
exercise was designed to address indiscriminate waste disposal and identify
properties without valid waste collection arrangements.
According
to the statement, the operation would involve routine compliance checks across
residential and commercial premises.
“The
initiative was designed to tackle the root causes of indiscriminate waste
disposal by verifying property-level compliance with Private Sector Participant
waste collection payment obligations.
“The
operation would involve routine checks requiring residents, commercial
premises, and business operators to present evidence of registration and
payment to their assigned PSP operators,” the statement partly read.
Gbadegesin
explained that the measure would help close service gaps contributing to
illegal dumping and blackspot formation across the axis.
“He
stated that the exercise would help identify properties without valid PSP
arrangements and close service gaps that contribute to illegal dumping and
blackspot formation,” the statement read.
He
urged residents and business operators within the Apapa-Iganmu corridor to
regularise their PSP payments and maintain proper waste storage practices ahead
of the enforcement drive.
