ABSTRACT
Domestic Solid waste management has become the greatest problem facing many urban
and semi-urban areas in Nigeria.Despite the efforts by the state government to help to solve
the problem its efforts are not enough and these brought about the involvement of the
private sector to participate to help to solve the problem.The study assessed private
participation in domestic solid waste management in Kaduna South Local Government,
Kaduna State, Nigeria. The study area comprises of twelve(12) wards, the twelve wards
was considered.Adopting the Yamene (1967) formula for sample size determination, the
sample size for this study will be 381 andBowley formula (1924) was used to determine the
number of questionnaires to distribute in the twelve wards. The primary data used in this
study was obtained by direct field observations, questionnaire administration, oral
interviews, images and photos of the study area. The results of the major finding showed
that plastics and polythene materials dominated the waste material generated with (33%)
and metallic materials forms (9%) of the total waste generated.Generally waste generated
wasgreater than waste disposed, the private sector played the greater role (57%) in the
waste management than the government or public (43%), Waste disposals firms were faced
with four (4) categories of challenges, first availability of dumpsite (42%), second,
Inadequate of modern facilities (27%), third shortage of skilled personals (23%) and finally
others (9%).The study thus recommended Public Enlightenment and Education on issues of
waste management and a better public awareness strategy on the subject matter also The
participation of private sector in the management of domestic solid waste should be
encourage so as to help in the solution of domestic sold waste littering.The Kaduna State
Ministry of Environment should review the existing laws and regulations guiding
viii
environmental sanitation and health it should also be enforced with stiffer actions in order
to make them more effective.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Study
Waste is defined as any unwanted material that is due for discarding. But technically, waste
isconsidered as a resource in the wrong place Abdullahi, (2011). Waste is something for
which we have no further use and which we wish to get rid of. Solid wastes arise from
unusable residues in raw materials, leftovers, rejects and scrap from process operations,
used or scrap packaging materials and even the saleable products themselves when they are
finally discarded.
Following the unrelenting urbanization and largely unimpressive performance of the public
sector in the provision of infrastructure in many cities in low-income countries, the search
for alternative strategies for urban environmental services became inevitable. One obvious
consequence of rapid urbanization is the growing generation of solid wastes, and many city
authorities face unprecedented challenges in managing these, including problems coping
with their collection and disposal . Despite the importance of adequate solid waste
management to the urban environment, the performance of many city authorities in this
respect leaves much to be desired (Ogu2006).
According to the 1996 Global Report on Human Settlements, between one-third and one-
half of the solid wastes generated within most cities in low and middle-income countries
are not collected. They usually end up as illegal dumps on streets, open spaces and waste
land. The proportion of solid wastes collected and disposed of is less than 25 per cent in
Dares Salaam (Tanzania) and about 40 per cent and 60 per cent respectively for Karachi
1
(Pakistan) and Jakarta (Indonesia) (UNCHS 2000) It is believed that in the poorest
communities (many of which are in sub Saharan Africa), 80 to 90m per cent of wastes
generated are not collected for safe disposal. Even in countries where city authorities
provide waste services, these are often spatially concentrated, leaving some parts of the city
unserved.
In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift in urban infrastructure development and
management from a dominance of the public sector to an emphasis on private sector
provision of services. The World Bank‟s policy on the urban sector shifted from project-
based lending in the 1970s to the current emphasis on institutional, regulatory and financial
reforms by the public sector, enabling the private sector to play a major role in urban
infrastructure development and provision ( World Bank 2001 ).
Generally, private sector entrepreneurs or enterprises do not pay taxes, have no trading license
and are not included in social welfare or government insurance schemes (Haan, Coad,
&Lardinois, 1998).The private sector is that segment of the private sector that operates
outside the official legal andinstitutional framework for solid waste management. One of
