Abstract
This study investigated impediments to solid waste management in Benin Metropolis. Impediments are those factors that hinder solid waste management, it was aimed at ascertaining the relationship between segregation, storage, collection, transportation, and disposal stage of solid waste as it affects solid waste management. Seven (7) research questions guided the study, alongside one hypothesis and tested at a 0.05 level of significance. The descriptive survey research design was used in the study. The study population comprised one hundred and sixteen (116) registered solid waste management companies operating within
the three Local Government Areas that constitute Benin Metropolis. Sample sizes of seventy (70) registered solid waste management companies, representing sixty percent (60%) of the population, were selected using the multi-stage sampling technique (stratified, proportional and simple random sampling techniques). Data were collected using two research instruments: a structure questionnaire and a checklist. The structured questionnaire and the checklist were validated by the researcher’s chief and co supervisor ant three others. The questionnaire reliability was determined through the test-retest method and analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation, yielding a reliability coefficient of 0.73. However, the checklist was not subjected to reliability test. Descriptive statistics (frequency counts, percentages, means, and standard deviations) were employed to analyze the research questions, while inferential statistics (ANOVA) was used to test the hypothesis
