According LAWMA, these efforts are, however, being tainted by the activities of mischievous persons who would rather dump their wastes indiscriminately on the roads than patronize their assigned PSP operators. The agency urged merchants at the market to turn a new leaf or face the consequences of the law. “If these acts against the environment continue unabated, the market will be shut till further notice. LAWMA wants all markets to comply with environmental laws of the state which are essential for building a cleaner and healthier environment everyone will be proud of,” it added. The agency, however, appealed to all residents in the state to always imbibe the habit of effective waste management by bagging their wastes for easy evacuation by their assigned PSPs.
