“…Scavengers were noticeable among the informal waste collectors who operate and scavenging for reuse and recyclable materials, however, scavenging in wastes has its related serious health problem to the scavengers [13]. Informal waste collectors and Scavengers often littering a street in searching and sorting for recyclable waste materials from the waste collection containers, which leads to poor sanitation [14].…”

“…However, this of waste separation among the households from the source of generation, practice is obviously lacking in Kano region, generated wastes are mixed in a single container. Source-separation of waste materials among households before collection is uncommon in Nigeria, [13,14]. Recycling of waste on the other side, for instance, such technologically advanced nations like America, Japan and Germany, because of their level of sophistication in technology are tremendously utilizing their generated waste into recycling, while, there are very few recycling rate and recycling technology in developing countries like Nigeria, perhaps, wastes recycling is both labour and capital intensive, moreover, absent of recycling bins in most urban cities in developing nations prompt residents in disposing their waste without prior source-separation, noticeable also is the fact that re-used materials have low patronage by individuals, as such poor market makes recycling of waste materials futile, [14].…”

-The issue of solid waste management (SWM) has persisted in most developing countries, like Nigeria. Despite several attempts at local levels to address this, its existence and effects keep on rising in Kano metropolis. This study explores one of the bases in setting priorities for services improvement to choose from among lists of service attributes in choice experiment survey perhaps to minimize the issue of attribute nonattendance. It warrants researchers to know how importance each service attribute is, for the most suitable perceived attributes relative importance. A technique for determining the relative importance of various service attributes to SWM was examined. A Sample of 230 households was determined using Krejcie and Morgan, and questionnaire survey approach was adopted. Data were analyzed using Relative Importance Index. The analysis showed that a relatively simple method using a ranking of multivariate correlation coefficients from high to low might be the most helpful approach for ranking the relative importance attributes. Findings indicated that collection frequency, disposal method, storage facilities, pre-collection and monthly payment were the most appropriate subset of the entire lists which influences waste collection services improvement in Kano Metropolis.

Industrial wastes have done distress to the environment and human health. Industrial wastes can be organic wastes or inorganic wastes based on their components; solid wastes, semi-solid wastes and liquid (gaseous) wastes based on their species; hazardous wastes and common wastes depending on pollution characteristics. Every year, large quantities of industrial wastes are generated from the growing industries and have become a major source of pollution and serious health concerns. Developing countries face a major challenge in management and disposal of industrial waste and they specially need to confront the adequate treatment, disposal facilities and training of qualified personnel. In this review, we have highlighted the important aspects, challenges and solutions for waste generated from dairy, pulp and paper industries and very importantly we have discussed the problem and concerns of solid waste management. Keeping in mind, the problems being faced in management of industrial waste, this review could help design strategies and solution to industrial waste management.

“…2). The challenging aspect has been sourceseparation of household waste which is one of the key elements of the integrated waste management system, and which has not been successfully implemented in municipalities of many countries such as China (Hui et al, 2005). Population size and density, the area size, the quantity of household generated solid waste, the collection distance, the geometric design of streets and roadways, and the level of area traffic congestion all have a pronounced impact on the cost of collection and transport of solid waste to the landfills.…”
