environmental decay is therefore seen as a collective responsibility of
both the public and private sector. Against this backdrop, the various
stakeholders needed to be more informed about the need for proper
environmental care. This campaign becomes eminent as the morbidity and
mortality that results from such indiscriminate waste management
practices continues to hunt the people against the backdrop of
development. (National Orientation Agency, 2011). Urban solid waste
management incorporates several interrelated aspects, which needs
complete cooperation and collaboration of the community for efficient
delivery. It comprises aspects of waste generation, waste composition,
collection, recycling (if any), pretreatment and treatment, and finally
disposal (Periathamby, 2011). These management aspects thus require
input from legal, economic, governmental, political, administrative, and
environmental actors. Thus, it requires the involvement of
multi-professional drivers such as community change agents among others.
