Waste crisis: LAWMA improves truck turnaround at Olusosun dumpsite after upgrade

The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has recorded faster truck turnaround and shorter compactor queues at the Olusosun dumpsite after extending and stabilising its E1 tipping platform. Executive Director of Finance Kunle Adebiyi said the upgrade speeds up waste evacuation and helps the authority clear backlogs and address waste hotspots across Lagos State. He warned that indiscriminate dumping and refuse returning to previously cleared locations are undermining sanitation efforts. Adebiyi urged residents to use their assigned private sector participation (PSP) operators and avoid road medians and other unauthorised dumping sites.
