This study focused on assessment of colleges of education students' knowledge and attitudes towards solid waste management in the North-Central zone of Nigeria. The cross-sectional survey design was adopted. A Students' Knowledge and Attitudes towards Solid Waste Management Questionnaire was used to collect data from 1,800 students. The findings indicated that the students had a low knowledge level of solid waste management but their attitudes towards it were positive. A significant relationship was found between students' knowledge and their attitudes towards solid waste management. Furthermore, gender was shown not to have any significant influence on knowledge and attitudes of students towards solid waste management. It was concluded that although students had low knowledge of solid waste management, their attitudes towards it were positive. It was recommended that environmental education issues, especially, solid waste management should be incorporated into colleges of education curricula and properly taught for in-depth knowledge acquisition.

Waste Management Practices

This paper presents an overview of the current solid waste management practices in Gashua town and provides a brief discussion on future challenges. Gashua town the headquarters of Bade Local Government Area since 1949. Since then the population has mainly due to the influx of people and its strategic location along the axial route to significant towns in the state. Wastes are generated mainly from residential, commercial and institutional land uses. Waste collection sites are strategically situated as identified by the agency and designated as high waste generating points, metal waste bins and constructed waste bunkers. The contents of these bins are finally disposed of at a location 6kilometres away from the generating points. Spatial data on waste distribution was collected using a global positioning system (GPS). The data was manipulated and processed using a Geographic information system (GIS) to produce the waste distribution map. Findings revealed that the existing solid waste management system is inefficient as the present practice relies on monthly collection and disposal of waste using an open dumpsite.
