ABSTRACT
Sequel to the need to efficiently and effectively tackle the problem of urban waste disposal and management in Nigeria, this work was conceived, evaluating indiscriminate domestic solid waste disposal in the two selected housing estates in Awka, Anambra state (Udoka and Real Estate) with the aim of evaluating thedomesic solid waste method in the study area and recommending to the Government the most appropriate method of Domestic waste management and Dsiposal in the study area. The study adopted survey method employing questionanaire and field observation. The data so generated was tested using chi-square and percentages and it was found that there is a significate relationship between the indiscrimate disposal of solid waste and the health problem.
