According to him, the project had three phases. The first phase was the sensitization exercise of students and residents on waste management. The second phase was provision of dumpster to enable the people dispose their waste. The third and final phase was embarking on a rally/walk to further sensitize members of the community on waste management by distributing flyers and books on environment management.
