      abstract = {Waste generation undoubtedly is as old as man. What changed over the years are its generation rate, disposal means or handling methods and management. Most uncontrolled and often unprofessional locations of waste disposal are termed open dump or Dump sites. Dumps pose a risk to the environment in many ways; microorganisms present in the refuse use the refuse as a food source. Under the anaerobic conditions typical of most dumps, these microorganisms convert the organic material in the refuse to methane and carbon dioxide1. In response to these waste challenges in July last year, the Federal Executive Council of Nigeria approved a Solid Waste Management Policy for the country. Intended to improve cleanliness across the country and facilitate the conversion of waste to wealth2. With the population of Bonny Island increasing in quantum leaps, the environment is daily inundated with the weight of waste materials emanating from the activities of the citizens and resident alike. Going by the sights of huge waste disposed at notable sites and the evidence of the local governments? open effort at combating its effect, one needs no expert knowledge to understand that we need to work very fast in the implementation of new waste policy with the good knowledge of waste generation. The study therefore aims at evaluating the characteristics of wastes dumped in selected areas of Bonny Island, evaluation of some of the soil properties within the dump region, attempt at characterization of the surface run-off from the dumpsite. The study revealed that waste generated is non-uniformly increasing at the rate of 2.1 tons per week. Additionally, the areas studied are experiencing accumulation of some physicochemical parameters and Microbial load. Possible effects of these accumulations were highlighted and recommendations were made.},
