| dc.description.abstract | This study sought to assess the effects of poor solid waste management in Mtendere compound. In order to achieve this research, objectives included; to identify the health and environmental effects of poor solid waste management & determine the factors contributing to poor state of waste management. This research relied on qualitative methods and collected data from a random sample of 12 residents from the study area using questionnaires. It was found that the environment in the study area has been highly polluted with solid wastes from poor disposal practices. With regard to waste collection, private firms have been helping the compound, collecting waste at least once or twice a week at affordable fee. The study concluded that commercial businesses and households should have storage containers: establish land for use as dumpsites while engaging community participation in promoting proper waste management. The study recommended policies relating to solid waste collection and disposal in the area, reducing solid waste through waste management value chain and establishment of properly constructed landfills site at a suitable location. | en_US |
