We have a central dustbin, which we all use, and we pay between N100 and N200 for refuse collection and disposal. The refuse that you see here are dumped by unknown individuals who don’t want to pay refuse bills to the market,” Peace said.
A resident of Ilasa, Blessing Adeyemi, confirmed that residents of the area were the ones dumping refuse at the junction, but said that they indulged in the practice because refuse disposal company assigned to take care of the area works in fits and starts. On the allegation that the company was doing skeletal job because it was being owed refuse collection fee, Saka said they would not allow that to deter them from doing their job, and even if the firm had issues regarding payment, it would resolve it amicably without abandoning its responsibility.
