The Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has urged residents to acquire smart bins for domestic storage of waste to promote a clean and sustainable environment.

LAWMA’s Managing Director, Dr MUYIWA GBADEGESIN, made the appeal at its headquarters in Ijora Olopa during a demonstration of the evacuation of smart bins by waste evacuation trucks.

He described the introduction of smart bins into the state’s waste management system as a significant advancement that would streamline the process of waste collection by assigned Private Sector Participation (PSP) operators.

According to him, the smart bin has a Radio Frequency Identification chain that enables LAWMA to know when it is emptied by the PSP operators.

Dr GBADEGESIN noted that the durability and tracking ability of the smart bins set them apart from traditional waste bins, while urging every Lagosian to embrace the innovation.
