“…Rapidity of population, urbanisation and economic growths has increased solid waste generation rates and material composition (Guerrero, Maas & Hogland, 2013 in [1]. Finding sustainable option of solid waste disposal remains a major challenge to waste management industry (Farrell & Jones, 2009 in [2].…”

The paper presented an assessment of the resource potentials of composting organic waste materials arising from the municipal solid waste stream from cities in Nigeria. Through a review of quantitative data, the composition of municipal solid waste arising within cities in Nigeria was examined in order to identify the potentials for composting organic materials from the waste stream composition. The data showed that the average majority of the waste stream was organic materials which implied high potentials for composting organic waste materials from Nigerian cities. The review also identified further potentials for composting was associated with the large population and the majority of them engaged in agriculture, as a high potential market for compost manure in Nigeria. There were more potentials derivable from the current policies of importing and supplying chemical fertilizer with huge subsidies for domestic agriculture in the country. The need to substitute these policies of chemical fertilizer with the use of compost manure implied high potentials for composting in the country. The paper also identified numerous benefits of composting in general and with particular reference to the Nigerian situation which includes, among others a reduction of the vast quantity of solid waste for final disposal, reducing air pollution and ground water leachate and also employment generation and increased income. Therefore, the paper recommended a deliberate government policy to promote composting of organic solid wastes material and marketing of compost manure to substitute the current policies of importing chemical fertilizer with subsidy for domestic agriculture as a strategy to achieve sustainable waste management in Nigeria.

“…The fast-growing population because of the influx of migrants from neighboring states due to the town's relative security has resulted in an increase in domestic solid waste and a boost in economic activity. The Bauchi state environmental protection agency (BASEPA)faces a massive challenge of solid waste management because of this [12]. As such, in this study, Bauchi is chosen as a fertile research setting with the hope that the findings from its industry will benefit other states.…”

an obvious environmental problem in cities all over the world is the solid waste produced by industry and consumption. In rapidly expanding metropolitan areas, this accumulation is more of a catastrophe problem than ever before. Municipal solid waste is a significant environmental issue in Bauchi. Government laments that the current disposal sites are quickly filling up following the privatization of services with various businesses known as private sector participants (PSPs) that run as Bauchi State Environmental Protection Agency (BASEPA) franchisees. In order to increase the amount of trash that is diverted from landfills as a result of the rapidly filling dumpsites, BASEPA plans to implement a solid waste source separation policy in the city. Examining the feasibility of implementing a source-separation policy in the less compliant low-income population segment by assessing the aspects of attitude and perception is intended to give insight into the practical feasibility of instituting source-separation in all population segments. The data for this study were collected using a structured questionnaire. All analyses were conducted using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS v25). According to the study, more than half (50.9%) of surveyed households have a poor perception of source separation, while 49.1% had a good perception of source separation. Similarly, it was also found that over half (52.5%) of surveyed households have a poor attitude toward source separation, while 47.5% of them have a good attitude toward source separation. It is recommended that a bottom-to-top approach of sensitization, orientation, and community engagement be adopted to improve the dimensions of perception and attitudes towards solid waste source separation in the metropolis.
