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.
