This was revealed in a before and after photos of the exercise shared on the official X handle of Mottainai on Thursday.
The company also said it has commenced an intensive clean-up exercise, to clear road medians and setbacks of waste.
In the post, Mottainai advised residents to play their role in keeping Oyo State clean by shunning indiscriminate waste disposal and patronizing assigned Mottainai Accredited Franchisees (MAFs).
