Speaking with our reporter yesterday, Simbabi said the council chairman, Alhaji Abdulrahman Ajiya, has already directed the department to carry out survey of residential houses within the metropolis to ascertain the number of houses that will be provided with the waste bins.

He said the department has now been embarking on daily cleaning of streets and water drainages as well as evacuation of refuse at designated areas, adding that such measures had enhanced a clean and hygienic environment.
