Problem Of Indiscriminate Waste Management
The rate of waste generation along drainage channel and other environments have increased to a devastating and uncontrollable rate in Nigeria as a result of human daily and economic activities and the increment was seen during pandemic. Modernization, high standard of living, increase in population, technological innovation and excessive urbanization over the years has drastically contributed to the generation of municipal waste, through industrial and domestic activities. Due to inadequate waste disposal method, dumping of refuse along drainage channel is an unauthorized places is now the order of the day in the country, both in local and national level and penalties that are placed on defaulters are not been effectively carried out.
This study investigates the effect of indiscriminate waste disposal and environmental issues associated with the management of waste in ado-odo Ota Government, Nigeria. Primary and Secondary data were used for the study. Primary data were acquired through structured questionnaires administered to a sample of 300 respondents which was randomly selected from the each local government area. The Questionnaire was administered based on the data elicited from the respondents were analyzed through non-parametric method of Chi-square. Three (3) hypotheses were formulated for this study which was all rejected; showing that indiscriminate dump of Waste had significant effects on Environment, Health, people’s attitude and practice. Secondary data were acquired from desk review method; information on environmental issues emanating from poor management of indiscriminate waste was obtained from literatures that are relevant to the study. The results of the findings obviously show that several major streets, open spaces, and even water ways are been used as refuse dump sites within the local government. The major environmental issues resulting from improper disposal and poor management of waste in Ota are physical nuisance of the waste to the environment. Generally, the study shows that soil, air and water pollution in the study area are caused by both pathogenic and chemical elements from these large amount of waste that hit some of the market places, abandoned land/building and major streets. Therefore, this paper is aimed at assessing the environmental risk of waste management during pandemic in Ado-Odo Ota LGA, Ogun State
The aim of this study is to know the state of waste disposal, methods and environmental issues relating to such disposal along drainage channels during pandemic.
The objectives of the study are;
- To establish the current situation of waste disposal in Ota local government area during pandemic
- To identify the method of waste disposal within the Local Government
- To know the environmental issues associated with the management of solid
- To analyze the whether there is significant relationship between environment, health and peoples’ attitude towards waste disposal
- To know the contribution of the local and state on waste disposal
- Do waste properly disposed along drainage channels within the Local Government?
- Are there any benefits that can be derived from waste?
- Does Waste a major environmental issue?
- Does the quality of waste disposal services satisfactory?
- Does method of waste adopted work for the resident living within the Local Government?
- Is it good to bury waste than to burn it?
