Dr. Gbadegesin further stated that the authority recently published the list of PSP operators in Lagos and their areas of coverage to enable residents reach out to them when there is a service gap, adding that phone numbers of LAWMA management staff had also been published for the purpose of monitoring the situation of the environment during the yuletide.
He implored residents to desist from acts capable of making life miserable for the environment and its inhabitants and seized the opportunity to appeal to motorists to drive with caution, to safeguard lives of street sweepers and other service providers who would be discharging their duties during this period.
While wishing all Lagosians a dirt-free Christmas and New Year celebration, he enjoined residents to call the toll-free 07080601020, for inquiries on waste management in their areas during and after the festive season.
