Solid Waste Management Problems, Solutions, Types and Its Effects; A Case Study of Okpoko Community

The aim of this study is to get to know the nature of solid waste management in Okpoko, identify the problems with the current management, and find a possible solution to them, thus creating a well-arranged environment where everyone can stay with no problem of solid waste. A field survey was conducted to get the opinion of the residents living in that particular area. After an analysis was done on the answers given to us by the residents with the help of the questionnaire that was shared, we finally learned the nature of the current solid waste management practiced there, which was mostly landfill, and the problems they were facing, such as air pollution caused by the open incineration (burning) of solid wastes. A possible solution was also found, which was the recycling and reuse of these solid wastes. The analysis method used for this study was Multiple Linear Regression (SPSS).
