Sahara Group Foundation has opened its 23rd recycling hub, with the newest facility located in Ikeja, Lagos. The stated goal is twofold: promote sustainable waste management and create livelihood opportunities. Hubs of this kind act as collection and sorting points where recyclable materials are gathered before moving on for processing. Lagos generates mountains of household waste daily, and a large share never gets recycled. The foundation has been siting these facilities in neighbourhoods across the city, bringing collection points closer to residents. Each hub also puts money in the hands of people who collect and sort waste, which softens the hardship around the trade. Ikeja, a busy commercial district, offers plenty of volume for a facility of this kind. The 23-hub footprint now stands among the more visible private pushes for recycling in Nigeria's biggest city.
