Abstract
Awareness and declarations about the environment are not enough; concrete steps and practical actions need to be taken to involve the citizens, both young and old, in the care and conservation of the environment. Therefore, this study investigated primary school teachers’ knowledge and attitudes to waste disposal. The results of the study showed that teachers in the area of study had adequate knowledge of problems associated with waste disposal and issues of environmental management; the two groups of respondents had favourable attitudes toward waste disposal but the female were more inclined to the various positive steps taken at waste management; and environmental education in schools has been seen as a means of alleviating the problems caused by people’s nonchalant attitude towards issues of environment management and waste disposal. Recommendations were also made based on the findings.
