“The youth will be moving around to trim overgrown trees and grass covering the road and put them in a sack for evacuation by the PSP to the dump sites.
“To further empower the youth, KCTA has encouraged the PSP to also recruit scavengers as loaders, trash collectors or monitor and report activities at designated dump sites,” he added.
The acting director said that the KCTA has provided refuse receptacles, a metal or plastic container for the disposal of refuse, in strategic locations across the four metropolitan Local Government Areas (LGAs).
