To improve waste management, it’s important to embrace segregation at the household and community levels. The National Sustainable Waste Management Act 2022 requires households to separate waste at the source. The MRF has two chambers: one for wet waste (organic) and one for dry waste (recyclables). The collection trucks are equipped with tracking documents issued by the National Environment Management Authority (Nema) and follow designated routes to ensure traceability. The bottom line is that achieving a clean and sustainable environment requires all hands on deck.
