WASTE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL (A CASE STUDY OF KUJE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA - ABUJA)

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examined critically the findings from the survey conducted on waste collection and disposal system for the study area, Kuje Local Government, FeT, Abuja. From the survey the information that was used, were the same problems associated with waste generally. Furthermore, the information revealed that these problems are detrimental to the public and the local government area. Accumulations of waste, inadequate transmission of waste and disposing of them are causing these problems. However, it was found out that dumping of refuse anyhow has an adverse effect on man and the environment (environmental degradation). Our findings suggest that the Board in charge should provide appropriate collection centers for the entire people of Kuje Local Government, because most of the problem occurred as a result of lack of collection centers, lack of bins in the appropriate areas to ease collection and disposal of waste.
