Abstract
Waste management has always been a major problem to solve in urban centres due to its inevitability. However,the issue of domestic waste generation and disposal has taken the front burner owing to an increase in the sophistication of consumer goods packages, thus leaving out unwanted waste products. The study aimed at evaluating the disposal pattern within a purely residential environment with a special focus on domestic waste while still looking at the various means adopted for waste disposal and the determining factor influencing the selection of waste disposal means. The study adopted visual imaging and questionnaires as a primary source of gathering information on the study area. The study revealed that waste disposal costs play a vital role in deciding which means to be adopted, followed by accessibility to waste disposal means. Therefore, it is recommended that these two significant factors be strongly considered in the siting of any residential development to encourage proper disposal of waste for a healthy environment.
