According to Sada (2006), the following
are ways of improving waste disposal
are ways of improving waste disposal
i.
Adequate funds: For a proper waste
disposal method to be adopted, adequate budgetary allocation must be made
available for capital outlet and running cost. This made it possible for the
acquisition of good and functional waste disposal vans/machines for the
operation and their maintenance as well as the procurement of spare parts.

ii.
Adequate equipment: There are various
type of equipment that are used to reduce solid waste materials. First and foremost,
we have the incinerator, pulverization machine. The use of incinerator machine
help in complete destruction of combustible refuse by burning at high
temperature of about 170oC and 180oC. This method is mostly hygienic system
so, government parastatals should put in place incineration machine to
reduce solid waste.

iii.
Adequate skills personnel: The
environmental health officer according to public health law comply with the
existing regulation laws, they are involved in health education of the public
about the health hazard caused by these nuisance in our surrounding. So
adequate skills personnel should be employed at various levels whether at federal,
state and local government level to manage waste properly.

iv.
Enforcement of laws: This Resources
Conservation And Recovering Act (RCRA) was enacted by congress in 1976 to
protect human health and the environment from the potential hazard of waste disposal.
Conserve energy and natural resources reduce the amount of waste generated and
ensure that wastes are managed in an environmentally sound manner.

v.
Community participation: This is the
process by which individuals and families assume the responsibility for their
own health and welfare and for those of community to develop the capacity to
contribute to the welfare of the community at large. They come to know their
own situation better and are motivated to solve their common problems. This enables
them to become agents of their own development to ensure that the project of proper
solid waste management is achieved.

vi.
Accessibility of dump site: These has
to do with government approval to allocate a dumping site and give access to the public
or license to member of the public to manage the dump sites for proper waste management of the dump site
provided. It is important that landfill been reasonably close to the area it is
designed to serve. At the same time siting a landfill close to populated area
will expose local residents to the environmental and health threats that
landfills may pose.
