Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology  ·  Area of research: Civil Engineering

Abstract

Recently, attempts are being made to make better the conventional solid waste management systems, especially used in developing countries, in order to cleanse the environment of the filths posed by these systems. The aim of this research work therefore is to highlight the present condition of solid waste management in Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa, Nigeria, establish the benefits of proper solid waste management system, and finally suggest modern waste management technologies. The approach here was basically from the analysis of interviews and photographic evidence gotten from several refuse dump sites around the polytechnic community. The lack of a proper waste management system has given chance for unhealthy lifestyles and series of discomfort to both the students and the polytechnic staff, thus a number of modern technologies focusing on Reduce, Reuse and Recycle approaches have been proffered to support and promote the current needs to adopt modern environmental policies in the polytechnic.
