The Edo State Waste Management Board has launched a clean-up intervention exercise across the metropolis. This initiative aims to improve the city’s appearance, address health and environmental hazards caused by improper waste disposal, and support the work of road sweepers.
The Board recognizes the importance of waste management for urban development. This clean-up campaign focuses on street sweeping, garbage collection, and debris removal. Alongside the clean-up, the Board is educating the public on proper waste disposal and monitoring high-risk littering areas.
Improper waste disposal poses dangers to public health, including disease, water contamination, and air pollution. The Board emphasizes that maintaining a clean environment is a shared responsibility and encourages residents, visitors, businesses, and others to participate in proper waste management.
This campaign highlights the Board’s dedication to a healthy and visually appealing State. By raising awareness and providing waste management resources, they encourage everyone to take an active role in keeping Edo State clean.
