The recycling project has finally found root in Ajegunle, Lagos, where a school allows parents to pay its fees with plastic. These plastic bottles are used as an alternative for parents who can’t afford the money. Most of these women are now seeing the value of these plastic bottles and their recycling impact.

The plastic bottles are collected and weighed. Then the school deducts the value from the child’s fees. Utilising this initiative, in this school in the Ajegunle area of Lagos, parents can pay for their children’s fees using plastic bottles. Parents are also able to pay on time as this reduces the burden of paying the fees.

Alexander Akhigbe, through his African Clean Up Initiative, has helped to impact many lives. The initiative aims to impact up to 10,000 lives of children through this.
