The Lagos Waste Management Authority has launched a compliance campaign tagged “Show Your PSP Payment Receipt” as part of renewed efforts to improve sanitation across the Lagos–Badagry corridor.
Managing Director/CEO, Muyiwa Gbadegesin, disclosed the initiative during a monitoring exercise along the transit route, explaining that the operation will begin within Apapa–Iganmu communities and will require residents and organisations to present proof of payment to their assigned Private Sector Participant (PSP) waste operators.
He said the enforcement is designed to address indiscriminate refuse disposal by verifying property-level compliance with waste collection payment obligations.
Routine inspections will identify premises without valid PSP arrangements and help eliminate waste blackspots caused by service gaps.
LAWMA also confirmed ongoing clearance and evacuation works along the Lagos–Badagry axis, with operational teams and equipment deployed across Orile, Doyin, Alaba Rago, Agric, Barracks, Iyana-Iba and Agbara.
According to the agency, the combined enforcement and cleanup intervention forms part of a broader environmental sustainability strategy to protect public health and restore urban cleanliness along the major transport corridor.
Gbadegesin urged residents, traders and transport operators, particularly in Apapa–Iganmu, to regularise PSP payments, properly store refuse and dispose waste only through assigned operators in compliance with environmental regulations.
