| Abstract | Solid waste management concerns with the administration of the generation, storage, collection, transfer, transport, processing, and disposal of solid waste in correspondent with the best principle of public health, economic engineering conservation, aesthetics and other environmental considerations which are responsive to public attitudes. The continually rising worldwide concern on ecological wellbeing requires that wastes be appropriately administered and discarded harmoniously and satisfactorily. This would minimize, and where possible dispense its potential damage to people, plants, animals and natural resources. Urban solid waste management development in Nigeria can be traced the back to late 1980s. With the rise in population, urbanization, and industrialization alongside globalization, the challenge of urban solid waste management (USWM) has escalated with its attendant human and environmental problems that need to be attended to. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to review government policy related to waste management, development, and practices in developing countries particularly, Nigeria cities from 1988 to date. Finally, this paper is a conceptual paper achieved through the review method. |
