Founder @trashmustgo_ng Waste Management Consultant | Environmental Infrastructure | Waste to Energy. Building cleaner, healthier, resilient communities.

[sirbiyicharles @biyicharles]

Commissioner @tokunbo_wahab, we commend the continued efforts of the Lagos State Ministry of Environment @LasgMOE and its agencies in tackling the enormous challenge of managing waste in one of Africa’s fastest-growing cities.

Keeping a city the size of Lagos clean requires collaboration between government, businesses, communities, and environmental stakeholders. We recognize the progress being made and believe there is even greater opportunity to strengthen these efforts through strategic public-private partnerships.

At Trash Must Go (TMG) @trashmustgo_ng , we stand ready to support Lagos State’s @followlasg vision for a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable environment through:

i. Community-based waste collection and recycling programs

Ii. Public sanitation and environmental awareness campaigns

iii. Drainage and flood-mitigation cleanup initiatives

iv. Waste-to-Wealth and Circular Economy programs

v. Youth empowerment through environmental jobs and skills development

vi. Public toilet management and sanitation infrastructure support

vii. Waste-to-Energy facilitation initiatives

viii. Waste management consulting and operational support

ix. Rapid-response environmental cleanup projects

Our goal is simple: support existing government initiatives, create economic opportunities for residents, improve public health outcomes, and help make Lagos a model city for environmental sustainability across Africa.

We would welcome the opportunity to work alongside the Ministry, LAWMA, local governments, and community stakeholders to deliver practical, measurable, and people-centered environmental solutions.

Together, we can build a cleaner, greener, and more prosperous Lagos.

Dear Gbadebo @GRVlagos

A lot of people are genuinely concerned about the waste situation in parts of Lagos, and that concern is understandable. Waste is not something you can talk around. If refuse is sitting on your street, beside your market, close to your bus stop, or inside the drainage near your house, the only thing that matters to you is that it should be removed. And that is fair.

But it may also help to explain the scale of what is being managed, and what is actually being done.

Lagos generates about 13,000 tonnes of waste every day. Not weekly. Every day. In May alone, LAWMA and PSP operators evacuated about 418,500 tonnes of waste across the state, which comes to an average of about 13,200 tonnes daily. That is not a small operation. It involves hundreds of PSP operators, public waste teams, transfer and disposal operations, street sweepers, enforcement teams, customer service staff, drivers, loaders, supervisors and monitoring officers working across a very large and difficult city.

Just to mention, during the 2026 Hajj, Saudi Sanitation Authorities announced that a total of over 472 tons of waste were generated from Mina and Muzdalifah. This is total waste generated by pilgrims all over the world in 5 days.

Still, nobody is pretending that everything is fine everywhere. Some communities have had delays. Some PSP operators have not performed well. Some routes have grown beyond the capacity that was originally assigned to them. In some areas, road access is poor. During the rains, movement into disposal sites can become slower. Trucks break down. Diesel and spare parts are expensive. Payment compliance is also weak in many places, and when people do not pay for waste service, the operators struggle to maintain trucks, pay crews and keep to schedule. These are not excuses but the harsh realities that have to be fixed.

That is why LAWMA has been reviewing weak routes, replacing and sanctioning underperforming operators, increasing monitoring, and deploying evacuation teams to pressure points. As of last month (May), 442 PSP operators were active across Lagos while 27 routes were under review for service improvement. LAWMA also received 474 complaints and service requests that month, which are now part of how the agency is identifying weak spots and following up on operator performance.

There is also a daily blackspot operation that many people do not see unless it is happening near them. LAWMA clears 3,000 black spots every day across 57 routes. These are the road medians, market edges, illegal dumping points, bus stops, setbacks and open spaces where people keep dropping waste outside the normal collection system. Some are cleared in the morning and abused again by night. That is one of the hardest parts of the job.

This is why enforcement has become more serious. In 2025, LAWMA recorded 1,023 incidents of illegal dumping and other waste violations across the state. Out of these, 447 cases were referred for prosecution. The surveillance teams also identified 431 scavengers and reconciled 145 properties with their assigned PSP operators. The data showed that much of the illegal dumping happens between midnight and early morning, and the waste is not only household refuse. It includes construction debris and even hazardous waste in some cases.

So when people say “just clear it,” we agree. It must be cleared. But we also have to stop the same locations from being turned back into dumpsites again and again.

While the long queues for CNG highlight growing demand, they also expose a bigger challenge: supply.

Nigeria shouldn’t rely solely on conventional natural gas when we generate thousands of tonnes of organic waste every day. That waste can become part of the solution.

At @trashmustgo_ng, our engineering team is developing a long-term waste-to-energy solution that converts municipal solid waste into BioCNG producing clean, renewable fuel while reducing the amount of waste ending up in our already overstretched landfills.

The future isn’t just about consuming cleaner energy; it’s about producing it from the resources we currently throw away. That’s how we build a truly circular economy. ♻️🇳🇬 #BioCNG #WasteToEnergy #CircularEconomy #CleanEnergy @Lawma_gov @MinistryOfEnv @followlasg @muyiwag @tokunbo_wahab

[OBI OF ABUJA🇳🇬 @icekied]

Since the federal government of Nigeria introduced CNG to Nigerians,this is what we have been going through before we get CNG daily.

🚨ONGOING: This week’s environmental compliance operation along the Yaba–Tejuosho corridor has revealed persistent and widespread violations concentrated around Kilani Street, Lisabi Street, Matthew Street, Pearce Street and Banjo Street.

Field investigations indicate that a significant proportion of the properties on these streets are occupied by fashion designers, tailoring workshops and clothing merchants. Daily commercial activities generate substantial quantities of textile offcuts and fabric waste which are routinely disposed of indiscriminately on the road median instead of through approved waste collection channels.

Our surveillance teams have also established that many of these businesses rely on illegal cart pushers for waste evacuation, creating a continuous chain of illegal collection and indiscriminate dumping that has contributed significantly to the recurring waste accumulation along the Yaba–Tejuosho axis.

Most concerning is the complete absence of evidence of patronage of assigned PSP operators by many of the affected premises over the past five years. Despite sustained advocacy, repeated engagement and multiple warnings, compliance has remained extremely poor, with operators continuing to disregard their statutory obligations under the Lagos State environmental laws.

These findings clearly demonstrate that the persistent waste problem in this corridor is driven not by inadequate waste collection services, but by deliberate and sustained non-compliance with established waste management regulations.

Accordingly, the ongoing enforcement operation has become necessary to restore environmental order, compel compliance, eliminate illegal waste disposal practices and reinforce the principle that every commercial premises must patronise its assigned PSP operator for proper waste evacuation.

Our objective remains compliance rather than punishment. However, where sustained advocacy fails to achieve the desired behavioural change, enforcement becomes an indispensable instrument for protecting public health and maintaining a cleaner Lagos.

These shops will be sealed indefinitely from today.

LAWMA’s Waste Investigation, Surveillance and Enforcement (WISE) team are currently carrying out enforcement operations to eradicate the activities of cart pushers along the Gbagada Expressway, Ifako, and other adjoining areas.

The operation is aimed at curbing illegal waste collection and indiscriminate dumping, protecting public health, and ensuring a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable environment for all Lagos residents.

LAWMA remains committed to enforcing environmental laws and urges residents to support these efforts by patronising only assigned PSP operators for proper waste collection and disposal.

Honorable Commissioner @tokunbo_wahab Good afternoon, I trust you’re doing well.

I just wanted to respectfully follow up regarding the Trash Must Go (TMG) proposals previously submitted on LAWMA operational support and the Circular Economy Initiative.

We remain committed to supporting Lagos State with practical, data-driven solutions that can strengthen waste management, accelerate resource recovery, create green jobs, and contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable Lagos.

Whenever it is convenient for you, we would be honored to discuss the proposals further and explore how TMG can support the Ministry and LAWMA in achieving the State’s environmental objectives.

Thank you once again for your time and continued leadership. We look forward to the opportunity to contribute to Lagos State’s environmental transformation.

Do you understand my statement? I’m curious as to where insecurities come into play here. These home are town houses, which is absolutely okay, usually found in the cities, particularly where land is scarce. They’re all over the world. But if an individual feels they need to move to the suburbs to get a better place so be it. Has nothing to do with insecurity mate.
