1.3 Purpose of the study
The purpose of this study was to assess solid waste segregation as a strategy for improved waste management in Abuja.
1.4 Specific objectives
To establish the status of the existing solid waste collection, transportation and disposal practices in Abuja.
To examine magnitude solid waste management problems in Abuja.
To examine the challenges of solid waste segregation in Abuja.
To design strategies to improve solid waste segregation challenges in Abuja.
1.5 Research questions
In order to achieve the above objectives, the following research questions were used:
What is the status of the existing solid waste collection, transportation and disposal practices in Abuja?
What are the magnitude solid waste management problems in Abuja?
What are the challenges of solid waste segregation in Abuja?
What are design strategies to overcome solid waste segregation challenges in Abuja?
1.6 Significance of the study
To
a large extent, solid waste management efficiency depends on the way
different actors understand the danger and the good of maintaining
environment safe and their capacity but also the commitment of public
and private sectors as well as the involvement and participation of the
communities themselves in supporting the whole concept. It also depends
on the useful information and lessons from current best practices in the
provision of this important service. Such information and lessons can
be obtained only through research and studies; hence this research can
assist in the improvement and performance of solid waste management in
the urban settlements and to identify opportunities for future strategic
development in the field of solid waste management. Particularly, this
study is useful to the different stakeholders including planners,
administrators and private waste collectors, and in one way or the other
contributes to future policy interventions in solid waste management
sector of the city of Abuja and Nigeria at large.
1.7 Scope of the study
The
study was based on solid waste segregation as a method for improving
waste management in Abuja; looking at practices from the generation up
to the disposal. It examined solid waste collection, transportation and
final disposal by criticizing magnitude problems of solid waste
management and then designs the strategies of how challenges could be
overcome as the increase of solid waste production is considerable and
can be one of environmental considerations.
