Project Abstract

Abstract
The management of solid waste in urban centers in Nigeria has become a critical environmental and public health issue. The rapid urbanization and population growth in major cities have led to a significant increase in the generation of solid waste, resulting in various environmental and health challenges. This study aims to assess the impact of solid wastes on urban centers in Nigeria, focusing on waste generation, composition, disposal methods, and associated environmental and health implications. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to analyze existing studies on solid waste management in urban areas of Nigeria. The findings indicate that the major sources of solid waste in urban centers include households, commercial activities, markets, and industries. The composition of solid waste varies, including organic waste, plastics, paper, glass, and metals, with plastics being a significant proportion due to their non-biodegradable nature. The disposal of solid waste in urban centers is predominantly through open dumping, landfilling, and burning, with inadequate waste collection and disposal infrastructure. These practices lead to environmental pollution, soil degradation, air pollution, and water contamination, affecting the overall ecosystem and human health. The presence of open dumpsites in urban areas contributes to the breeding of disease vectors, such as rodents and insects, increasing the risk of infectious diseases among the population. Furthermore, the improper management of solid waste in urban centers exacerbates flooding and drainage problems, as blocked waterways and clogged drains result from indiscriminate waste disposal. The visual blight caused by littered streets and open dumpsites also impacts the aesthetic appeal of urban areas, affecting tourism and overall socio-economic development. To mitigate the impact of solid waste in urban centers, there is a need for improved waste management practices, including waste segregation, recycling, composting, and the establishment of modern waste treatment facilities. Public awareness campaigns and community engagement are essential to promote waste reduction, proper disposal, and recycling initiatives among residents and businesses in urban areas. In conclusion, addressing the challenges of solid waste management in urban centers in Nigeria requires a multi-stakeholder approach involving government agencies, private sector players, civil society organizations, and the general public. Implementing sustainable waste management practices will not only improve the environmental quality of urban areas but also safeguard public health and promote sustainable urban development.
