ABSTRACT Solid wastes are heterogeneous accumulation of domestic, agricultural, industrial and mineral materials. It can as well be called “refuse”. The composition of solid wastes in probably the most significant characteristics operating its disposal or recovery of material from waste, and can vary conscionable from one community to another. For instance, wastes generated in developing communities contains a large percentage of organic materials, usually three times higher than that of industrialized countries. Generally composition of waste are of two types: physical and chemical compositions sources of solid waste are classified as residential industrial, commercial, institutional, construction and demolition of municipal services processes and agricultural wastes. Solid waste management involves the collection, transportation, storage, pre-treatment and disposal of the waste reissue, as well as after-care of the disposal sites as part of the management activities. The main reason for solid waste management in to reduce the volume of waste generated and to make hazardous waste non-toxic by threating before the final disposal in natural system (earth, metro, or air). Government private agencies and individuals should be involved in waste characteristic at the source. This approval will go a long way in helping the recovery of reusable materials from domestic waste in all areas. KEYWORD: Solid Wastes Management, Industrial and Mineral Materials
