LAWMA urges residents to embrace waste sorting, as

The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) is urging residents of Lagos State to adopt household waste sorting—separating recyclables, organic waste, and non‑recyclables—so that the city can increase recycling rates, reduce landfill use, and improve overall sanitation. LAWMA says proper sorting makes collection more efficient, cuts costs, and helps protect public health and the environment. Residents are encouraged to use designated bins or bags for each waste type and follow the authority’s guidelines for disposal. Views Nigeria
