Abstract :
The rapid increase of people, booming
budget, rapid urbanization, increase in marketable,
agricultural and industrial events are the major reasons
for the increase in generation of solid surplus. This paper
will inspect the domestic waste management in Unguwan
Sanusi, Kaduna South L.G.A Nigeria with the precise
objectives which are, to identify the types of domestic
waste produced, to identify the approaches of domestic
surplus dumping in the study area, and to identify the
challenges faced by the inhabitants resulting from waste.
According to the findings of the field study, domestic
waste management in Unguwan Sanusi area of Nigeria is
the responsibility of both the government and private
organizations because it affects both parties in some
manner. The lack of adequate dumpsites provided by the
relevant agencies appears to have an impact on domestic
waste disposal techniques in the research area. The
analysis was done and presented using, method of
questionnaire where in 250 questionnaires were placed
and 150 people responded. The data revealed that the
respondents had a diverse range of socioeconomic
characteristics. It also revealed that locals were
dissatisfied with trash management procedures, with
many of them being unaware of the body/agency in
charge of waste management. For proper hardsurplus
management, environmental teaching courses should be
introduced in all levels in schools in Nigeria and an
additional formal disposal site must also be provided
which must be close to one another.
