Repositioning Waste Management Architecture for Sustainable Upstream Performance in Lagos, Nigeria
Abstract The Lagos Mega City witnessed a breakdown of refuse upstream evacuation mechanism more than ever before. New and sustainable approach needs to be found for improvement, in the face of looming environmental health hazards. This study examines public policy on solid waste management in Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) enabling law, 2007 and explores human and technological resources available for a sustainable operation. It also utilises interviews with refuse evacuation stake holders; the waste-cart pushers and survey on households to appraise the current state of refuse management. The study discovers a massive displacement of grass-root mechanisms which could have been harnessed for effective waste evacuation. It also finds that scale of plant was underutilised and wrongly applied, resulting in inefficiency of Private Sector Participation (PSP) refuse collectors. The study recommends a restructuring of the evacuation mechanisms through means of the ‘refuse sale’ approach on three major levels.
