The recommends that government that needs to address some issues of opening of more and not too distant refuse dumps/ landfills, improved fees for the services rendered by the waste service providers.They should be a management approach which should incorporate re-use and recycling, composting and energy generation and waste prevention.Also there should be a review of the legislative aspects of solid waste management in other to work towards achieving the objectives of waste hierarchy. Government and environmental protection agencies and waste management personals should employee experts or exposed their staff to workshops and trainings that meet international standards on technology use, information management and knowledge management
