Project Abstract

Abstract
Effective refuse management is a critical aspect of maintaining environmental sustainability and public health. This research project aims to explore the various strategies, challenges, and prospects associated with refuse management in urban areas. The study will focus on identifying the key problems faced in refuse management, such as inadequate infrastructure, poor waste segregation practices, and limited public awareness. The research will also investigate the strategies currently employed by local authorities and waste management companies to address these challenges. This includes assessing the effectiveness of waste collection systems, recycling initiatives, and public education campaigns. By analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of these strategies, the study seeks to provide recommendations for improving refuse management practices. Furthermore, the project will examine the prospects for implementing innovative technologies and practices in refuse management. This includes exploring the potential of waste-to-energy conversion, smart waste bins, and data analytics for optimizing waste collection routes. By investigating these emerging trends, the research aims to outline future opportunities for enhancing refuse management efficiency and sustainability. The methodology for this study will involve a combination of literature review, field surveys, and interviews with key stakeholders in the refuse management sector. Data collected from various sources will be analyzed to identify common themes, trends, and best practices in refuse management. The research will be conducted in a selected urban area, allowing for a detailed case study analysis of local refuse management practices. Overall, this research project seeks to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on refuse management by providing insights into the strategies, challenges, and prospects in this field. By highlighting the key issues and opportunities in urban waste management, the study aims to inform policy makers, urban planners, and waste management professionals on ways to improve refuse management practices for a more sustainable and livable environment.

Project Overview

1.1 INTRODUCTION
This work was obligated to present in one. The fundamental and practical information in the filed of the comparative analysis of the strength of concrete made from various aggregate which may be useful to people involve in civil and structural engineering and particularly, those that found pleasure in the design and related structure.
Due to high cost of sand in the market the comparative analysis of strength of concrete made from various aggregate play an important role in cost of transportation, thus the cost of material.
Enugu state case a case study has quite an abundance of washed gravel, which are usually picked out from stream, black and surface gravel present in every part of the state though, in many construction sites, mostly within Enugu metropolis crushed/granites stones got from Abalikik and Nkalagu are mostly used, in the rural areas, washed gravel are mostly used because of its availability and cheapness compared to crouched stones.
The aim of this project therefore, is to compare the compressive strength produced b those washed, black, surface and granite stone got from different areas and to see if there is any way, these coarse aggregate can be interchanged during construction especially when her is shortage of any one of the materials.
