Disposal of waste in Lagos State has become a source of worry to inhabitants of Lagos. It has come to the extent where one prays not to have full waste bucket because no one will come and carry your refuse. To make matters worse, in the night unknown people will come and dump sack of refuse near your waste bucket or drum and some will decide that the drainage close to your house is better off. I thought my case was terrible until I went to an estate in Lagos and was shocked to see barricaded heap of refuse.
If this continues, there will be outbreak of diseases due to cockroaches and rats infestation of food stuff. Increased cases of Malaria and Typhoid fever will overwhelm our already poor health care system.
Please Lagos State Government we need help since the cheapest means of refuse disposal(use of cart) had been banned, please provide us with a better option. The stench alone from these waste/refuse is enough to send one to the hospital.
