Of recent, there has been heaps of refuse dumped especially along major roads and streets of Lagos to the extent that residents and motorists have raised alarm over increasing mountains of refuse in the state. Once again, the Lagos State government has acknowledged the problem and commenced action to address the situation. Furthermore, community development associations should stand up against indiscriminate refuse dumping and cooperate with Lagos State government by reporting such acts. Law enforcement and prosecution are critical in stopping refuse dumping and blighting of the city. Collectively, the people and government of Lagos State can combat refuse and create a more habitable metropolis.
