Statement of the Problem
Solid
waste disposal has been a major problem to mankind; indiscriminate
waste disposal has posed major threat to human health and ecosystem.
Terrestrial and aquatic lives are exposed to various health hazards due
to failure of mankind to go extra mile in waste management science.
The
inherent problems of waste generation, collection and disposal includes
outbreak of epidemic environmental pollution and flood which often
occurred due to persistent dumping of personal, industrial and domestic
waste into the drainage. It is noted with dismay that indiscriminate

The prevalence of malaria and other vector and vehicle borne diseases
are traceable to failure on the part of both the government and the
community to instill right attitude toward waste disposal.
