The agencies made the call When they held a one-day public awareness sensitization programme in Awka on the dangers inherent in wrong disposal of plastic waste.
Correspondent, Chukwuemeka Modilim now reports that the exercise which started from Aroma junction and ended at Awka South local government headquarters saw the group sensitize members of the public against dumping plastic waste inside drainages and on the roads as it affects the ecosystem and causes flooding.
In an interview, the Senior Business Adviser for TechnoServe, Mr. Franklin Nwarieibe and the Head of Enforcement, Anambra State Waste Management Authority, Mr. Ikenna Nwanegbo, urged Ndi Anambra to turn their plastic into money making venture by selling them to the ASWAMA and TechnoServe rather than disposing them wrongly to achieve a cleaner, greener and sustainable Anambra State.
On his part, Mr. Chekwube Nnoli, one of the aggregators, noted that the programme will address indiscriminate plastic waste disposal in the state by encouraging the people to take their waste to the places that will end them income.
