Waste management cuts across several institutional structures and policies as well as sectors. The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) is the catalyst for transforming the Waste Management sector in the waste African sub region.
The mandate of lawma, derived from the legal framework which gave it a new life in 2007 is diversified linking management of waste with  other aspect of human (social) existence.

This scope is widened by the interconnectedness of waste management practices and global concern of climate change. climate change issues are being address by LAWMA with the adoption of enhanced waste management practices (which are globally acceptable) as evidence in the various innovative programmes/project ranging from:
  Construction of the first transfer loading station (TLS) in Africa and the use of transfer    loading trailers.
  Management of standard landfill and construction of an integrated Solid Waste    Management Facility (ISWMF).
  Use of standardized waste disposal vehicles (Compactors).
 
 
Transfer Loading Station (TLS)
