The study looked at how solid waste is managed in Bauchi Metropolis. The researchers found that the waste generated in the city is more than what is being collected and managed. This is because the municipality doesn't have enough data on the amount and types of waste being produced. By comparing the waste management services provided by the environmental agency with the actual waste characteristics in the city, the study showed that there is a gap between the current situation and the sustainable waste management needed in Bauchi Metropolis.
