The Managing Director of the Board, Amb. Dr. Lucky Enehita-Inegbenehi, disclosed this while addressing stakeholders at Ring Road.
According to him, a total of nine waste bins, arranged in sets of three different types in one chain, have been placed at nine locations within the arena.
He said the purpose of the bins is to sustain the cleanliness of the area, which has received a major facelift from the State Government in line with the vision of a “New Edo is Rising.”
Dr. Enehita-Inegbenehi stressed that the waste bins are provided for passers-by to dispose waste; and are not to serve as alternative refuse disposal points for households and traders.
He urged households and traders to continue to patronize their registered waste managers for proper waste disposal.
