Waste Management Strategies for Proper Household Hygiene in Orumba-South Local Government Area of Anambra-State, Nigeria
This study was designed to investigate waste management strategies for proper household hygiene in Orumba-South Local Government Area of Anambra- State, Nigeria. Three research questions guided the study. Questionnaire was used to collect relevant data from a random sample of 200 households in Orumba-South Local Government Area. Mean was used to analyse the data collected. The findings revealed among others that most households in Orumba-South Local Government Area dispose their waste by indiscriminate dumping on roadside, sumps, streams; using discarded containers as waste bins. It also revealed that indiscriminate dumping of wastes among others cause air, water and land pollution, forming breeding sites for vector agents, transmission of communicable diseases and parasitic infections. Finally, it was also revealed among other strategies that enough public waste disposal facilities should be provided; there should be provision of separate disposal facilities for different forms of wastes accumulated by various households instead of dumping all the wastes in one facility. Based on the findings, five recommendations were given on how to improve on waste management practices. DOI:10.5901/ajis.2014.v3n7p115
