The book gives a detailed information of solid waste management in some selected areas of Lagos State. The evaluation include waste generators, collection, transportation, treatment/disposal, and energy and material recovery. The aim was to discover the type of waste generated in these selected areas, the management system practiced and the problems resulting from these practiced methods. The current waste management system in Lagos State is faced with inefficient collection of generated waste and the use of dumpsites for waste disposal, which has manifested significant adverse environmental impacts. This study suggests segregation of waste at the source of production at household level in other to reduce the cost of separation at the recycling plants and to increase the quantity and quality of the recycled materials. It also suggests that scavenging should be effectively coordinated to achieve greater social and economic benefits from such activities, and also to protect the health of the people involved. Landfilling will remain an important option for final disposal, but reliance on this method could be significantly reduced if solid waste management options are exploited.
