Abstract
The aim of this study is to comprehensively assess the need for Sanitary landfills in Edo state for management of waste, control of pollution for sustainable manufacturing system using concurrent triangulation design. The concurrent triangulation design is in two phases, Phase 1 using quantitative analysis, descriptive statistics while phase 2 used the qualitative analysis using thematic selection. Final results collected from the merger of results from phase 1 and phase 2 showed the Regression analysis results had a T-test value of -0.4615 at P value significant of 0.000 obtained for Sanitary landfill in the model and was less than 5% level of significance indicating that there is a significant relationship between Sanitary landfilling and pollution control. The Durbin Watson result of 1.955 showed that the model is reliable with absence of serial auto correlation. A coefficient of - 0.346 showed that 1% increase in sanitary landfilling activities results in 34.6% decrease in environmental pollution. Hence Sanitary landfilling for waste management has proved to sustain manufacturing system, control environmental pollution and reduce waste.
 Keywords: Sanitary landfilling, waste management, pollution control, sustainable manufacturing system,
