LAWMA evacuates 18,660 tonnes of waste in one week after Olusosun upgrade

The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) reported evacuating over 18,660 metric tonnes of municipal solid waste across its disposal facilities in one week, following upgrades at the Olusosun Disposal Facility. The improvements included rehabilitating the access road and adding more waste disposal platforms, which boosted truck movement and evacuation capacity. LAWMA's managing director highlighted a 76% increase in truck trips at Olusosun compared to the previous week, with the highest daily performance recorded on August 1. The upgrades helped address operational challenges, especially during the rainy season. Other facilities like Ewu-Elepe, Badagry, and Oke-Osho, along with the Waste-to-Wealth Material Recovery Facility at Igando, contributed to the efficiency gains. The authority plans to continue improving services through new infrastructure and technology.
