1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Lagos State Government, in its commitment to ensuring a cleaner, healthier and more aesthetically pleasing city has an objective of ensuring an effective and efficient Solid Waste Management system. Therefore, under the visionary leadership of His Excellency, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, the State government initiated the Cleaner Lagos Initiative (CLI) to realize this objective.
With over 9,000 commercial businesses in the state, the new Lagos State Environmental Law will enforce compliance, a reliably bankable client-operator contract agreement (COCA) and the Lagos State Environmental Trust Fund (LSETF) as well as create opportunities for new operators for the specialized waste categories under the new initiative.
As a follow up to the recently conducted recertification and verification of existing Waste Collection Operators formerly known as PSPs, new operators are now being certified for the specialized waste categories listed below:
- Industrial Waste,
- Special Industrial Waste,
- Hazardous Waste,
- Recyclable Waste,
- Healthcare Waste and
- Building Waste.
