Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Urban Planning
  • Waste Management

Background:

  • Abuja, a new African city, presents a unique chance to establish effective environmental management.
  • Existing solid waste management (SWM) in Abuja faces significant economic, institutional, legislative, technical, and operational challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current state of solid waste management in Abuja.
  • To identify constraints and propose recommendations for improvement.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing solid waste management systems.
  • Analysis of economic, institutional, legislative, technical, and operational factors.
  • Identification of infrastructure and policy gaps.

Main Results:

  • Inadequate waste collection services and inappropriate vehicles.
  • Need for source waste sorting to reduce disposal volumes.
  • Low recycling rates due to lack of cooperation and market development.
  • Existing dumpsite requires upgrading to an engineered landfill.
  • Widespread illegal dumping in unauthorized areas.
  • Limited funding and affordability issues.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing reliable waste collection and appropriate vehicles is crucial.
  • Enhancing source segregation, recycling, and composting can create jobs and alleviate poverty.
  • A robust policy framework, legislative enforcement, and private sector involvement are essential for sustainable SWM.
  • Accurate population data is vital for effective SWM planning.
