Eastern Waste Management Company (EWAMAC) has launched the Door2Door Waste Disposal service in Owerri, promising to overhaul waste management and improve residents’ quality of life. Set to begin December 4th, this innovative system was unveiled during a press briefing by EWAMAC’s Managing Director, Uche Njoku, who emphasized the initiative’s focus on convenience, public health, and environmental sustainability.
The Door2Door system eliminates the need for residents to trek to public dumpsites, replacing it with home-based waste collection. Njoku assured that the service would address inefficiencies and health hazards tied to traditional waste disposal practices.
