As part of its efforts to promote a cleaner, greener, and healthier environment, The Architects Place Ltd In conjunction with the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources has launched an initiative to provide proper waste disposal bins across the state.

 

The initiative, which is aimed at building a culture of proper waste segregation and disposal, is designed to encourage residents, businesses, and institutions to properly dispose their waste and recyclables.

The proper waste disposal bins, which are designed to accommodate different types of waste, including recyclables, organics, and non-recyclable waste, will be strategically located in public spaces, markets, and other high-traffic areas.

 

This will help to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and waterways, improving environmental health and reducing the risk of disease. By providing separate bins for recyclables, the initiative will encourage residents and businesses to recycle more, reducing waste and conserving natural resources.

 

We urge all residents, businesses, and institutions in Lagos to join us in this effort to build a culture of proper waste segregation and disposal. Together, we can make a difference and create a cleaner, greener, and healthier environment for all.
