This paper undertakes a study of the problems emerging from
indiscriminate waste disposal as perceived by householders with a
view toward finding ameliorative measures that would help reduce
their negative effects on urban beautification and sanitation. Inadequate and un-scientific municipal solid waste management
practices and the poor state of sanitation in most cities of the
developing countries have resulted into the pollution of the
environment: contamination of both surface and ground water which
is in turn a serious human health risk. Nigeria’s major urban centre’s
are today grappling with the problems caused by mounting heaps of
solid wastes from their environments. To study the phenomena, a literature on problems emerging from
waste disposal was undertaken. the stratified random sampling
techniques is applied based on the division of the study area, the
districts include Ekosodi, Oluku, Iguosa, Uhogua, Utekon, in each of
11
these communities, households were chosen using stratified random
sampling, the first house is selected at the beginning of each Street
and the next two houses are skipped before the fourth is also sampled. This method is applied on both parts of the street. In each of this five
(5) districts, 20 questionnaires were administered to the selected
streets. The observation was that householders perceive ill-health as the
most severe problem that emerged from indiscriminate waste disposal. Recommendation were made that communal refuse containers
should be provided at approved sites within every 100 meter radius. The local authorities should ensure that householders should
participate actively in monthly environmental sanitation imposed by
the federal government
