Abstract

The daily generated solid waste poses threats to the lives on land and below water, human health and well-being, and humans’ sustainable cities and towns. The concerns from such threats instigated the current study to compare six locations across three states (Osun: Ring Road and Fountain University Osogbo Community, Lagos: Ikorodu and Ikeja, and Oyo: Iwo Road and Samonda) in Nigeria for the respondents’ perception. The study adopted a non-probabilistic sampling method to administer 600 pre-tested copies of the questionnaire, whose Likert-scale format responses were coded in an Excel Spreadsheet and analysed for descriptive (cross-tabulation and bar chart) and inferential (Chi-Square test) statistics using SPSS v23. The pre-tested questionnaire had a Cronbach value of 0.848 for good reliability (or internal consistency) of the 35 variables across six sub-themes, the analysed data showed variations in the responses across the three states having two locations each, and the Chi-Square tests indicated different significant levels across the responses. The study observed (like other studies) that despite people’s awareness/ knowledge of threats to solid waste, they still hardly correctly dispose of it. Thus, there is a need to intensify the novel eco-friendly innovation to realise the circular economy for sustainable and integrated solid waste management.
