THE PROBLEM OF SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN ENUGU METROPOLIS

This research work is aim at examining the practices and problems solid waste management with particular reference to IMT Campus III.
The research choose the random sampling Technique based on the population concentration from three (3) location within  the study area.
The data obtained were analysed using percentage statistics method. From the analysis of data and discussion the practices in the use include open dumps and open burning which indicate poor management.
To ensure proper management the researcher recommended that government should device new and appropriate strategies in solid waste management that involves on the spot separation for possible recycling, through supervision of authorities involved in the waste management and grass roof campaign to ensure strict adherence to the rules guiding waste management.
