SANWO-OLU UNVEILS ADOPT-A-BIN PROGRAMME WITH 40,000 BINS
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has unveiled the Adopt-a-Bin programme with an initial 40,000 standard bins deployed to households and commercial entities.
Sanwo-Olu spoke during the launch of the programme at Simpson Transfer Loading Station on Lagos Island, saying the gospel of waste sorting at source is now gaining ground as individual pickers of recyclable items are increasing by the day and recycling firms springing up.
According to the Governor, who was represented by the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr. Tunji Bello, "Today, we are at the threshold of another phase in our Lagos Recycle Initiative, as we launch standard waste bins for the “Adopt-A-Bin” project, which is LAWMA’s latest baby. The bins which come in two colours, the green for general waste and the blue for recyclable items, are for containerising waste".
