Abstract: Solid waste disposal management planning involves the development comparison and monitoring of various alternative approaches to solving of Municipal solid waste problems as stated by Khan et al. ((1990). It caters for the management of waste from the point of generation to actual waste disposal points. The study examines the responses of the residents of Bosso and Kpakungu areas of Minna to solid waste disposal and management and reveal poor and inadequate waste management system; as over 40% of the sampled population do not have any waste facilities while about 64.56% of the population do not have a reliable waste collection points. Over 76% of the waste generated in the areas ends in open fields or on illegal sites while the remaining 23.64% ends in water channels and road sides. If relevant agencies will rise to their responsibilities, over 60% of the sampled population are willing to pay for waste collection for final disposals. The study recommends strict enforcement of planning laws and regulations and the formulation of a good waste management program for urban sustainability.
