Patriotic somolites have been urged by the Executive chairman of Somolu local government, Hon. Abdul Hamed Salawu ‘Dullar’ to ensure that waste generated in their respective area are bagged properly so as to guide against falling back of such waste noting that it will easy for the PSP operators to cart them away without hassle.
He adds, “Using thick, black bags, as they can carry significantly more weight than the flimsy counterparts with less chance of tearing or breaking. Residences should use outdoor bags as they are typically more sturdy than indoor ones and will hold up better during movement”. He stated
According to Head of Department, Environment, Sanitarian Ogunbekun H.O., who warned that packing anything sharp or breakable in a waste bag could potentially poke through the plastic and cause it to tear or break into pieces.
“Even for safety reason, it’s safer not to pack anything breakable in a garbage bag either, since you don’t get the support in a bag that you’d get in a Lawma plastic” .
The listed items are not to be packed these items in a waste bag: Sharp items, including knives and objects that just have sharp corners and other inherently heavy items, Glass, porcelain, ceramic, and any other fragile materials unsecured liquids and any hazardous or flammable materials.
The Chairman however, used that opportunity to inform public that the operation of PSP operators within each ward will be on hold as the dumping site at Olushosun is currently under two days repair.
