Over the years, we have grown in leaps and bounds, multiplying in numbers as our departments increased. Lagos being a city that is regarded as the commercial nerve centre of Africa continues to attract people, both local and foreign, thus resulting into population explosion.

Two major areas of waste management services that we are working relentlessly to improve upon are the fields of Medical Waste Management and Recycling. It is in our practice to hold a Medical Waste Summit annually, like we did in 2009, which birthed the publication of a medical waste handbook and marked the purchase of a Hydroclave Treatment Machine.
