Oyo begins new waste management operation

Oyo state government has flagged off an intensive door-to-door waste evacuation operation to address improper waste disposal in Ibadan, the State capital and its environs.

The Waste Management Consultant in the state, Mr Adey Adewuyi, made this known to newsmen on Monday in Ibadan.

Adewuyi said that the waste collectors, now known as “Mottainai Accredited Franchisees” would be empowered to fast-track the clearing of waste from the streets of Ibadan and restore environmental sustainability.

He said that the new system does not permit residents and commercial waste creators and generators to make cash payments to any Accredited Franchise.
