“…The indiscriminate disposal of solid waste not only affects the environment but also exposes individuals working in waste disposal areas to significant occupational health hazards (Tamanna & Kabir, 2020). This practice leads to various forms of pollution, including soil, groundwater, and air pollution, along with the emission of greenhouse gases like methane, and the degradation of the aesthetic quality of the surroundings (SeethaRam, 2023). The consequences of improper disposal of solid waste is more felt in low-and middle-income countries (Massoud et al, 2022;SeethaRam, 2023;Angmo & Shah, 2021;Tamanna & Kabir, 2020).…”

Purpose: The research aimed to investigate the challenges associated with waste disposal and management in Eyenkorin, a peri-urban neighborhood in Kwara State. Materials and Methods: The study adopted cross-section survey research. The study involved sampling 250 respondents within Eyenkorin using a questionnaire as the primary data collection instrument. Demographic information such as gender, marital status, and age was recorded, alongside data on waste storage methods, disposal practices, frequency of disposal, and average weekly waste generation. The data was presented in tables. Findings: The findings revealed that a majority of the respondents were male, married, and aged between 41-60 years. Plastic baskets were identified as the primary means of waste storage, with burning being the preferred method of waste disposal. Waste was disposed of every fortnight, with an average weekly waste generation of less than 5 kg. The implications of improper waste disposal included the creation of breeding spaces for germs and pollution. Furthermore, the study identified nonchalance by residents, poor policy frameworks, and a lack of technical know-how as the major challenges of waste management in Eyenkorin. Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: In conclusion, the research highlighted the inadequacy of waste management services and facilities in Eyenkorin, despite its status as a fast-growing peri-urban area. The increasing physical development of the neighborhood necessitates a proportional enhancement of waste management infrastructure. This suggests a disparity between current waste management practices and the evolving needs of the community, underscoring the urgency for policy interventions and technical support to improve waste management in peri-urban regions like Eyenkorin.
