Abstract
Municipal Waste have become a global concern particularly in the manner they are
indiscriminately dump and poorly managed in towns and cities of the world including
our capital city of Abuja.
This Study established the gap in the policy framework designed to effect cost recovery
mechanism in the process of managing the compounded problems of solid waste in
Abuja metropolis.
The study revealed that the residents of Abuja are desirous of quality, efficient and
effective waste management service delivery but the provision of such services are
constraint by the commercialization policy adopted by the Abuja waste management
authorities.
This study will provide valuable insights and allow broad lessons to be drawn out.
The major finding is that municipal authorities have to encourage the private waste
service providers to move at their own pace while they develop and implement
sustainable plans and new technologies for upgrading Municipal Solid Waste
management facilities and systems.
This study also gives some views on public awareness for waste management.
The study also identifies the problems in the present scenario of the Municipal Solid
Waste Management. Meanwhile, it is hoped that this study can be a primary reference in
urban planning and management study for municipal waste management in cities in
years to come.
