INTRODUCTION
One of man's greatest risks today is the poor sanitary state of his surroundings, which is produced by his everyday activities such as waste creation, population growth, and the resulting rise in agricultural, industrial, and commercial operations.
Wastes are substances, materials, or items that have been wasted because they are useless or undesirable, faulty, or have no more value for human economic production, activities, or processes (Adegoke 2016). The United States AD-Hoc Group for Science and Technology (2019) defined waste as substances, materials, or objects that are disposed of in accordance with national legislation. Wastes can essentially exist in three states: gaseous, liquid, and solid. People are more sensitive than others to solid trash. This is due to the fact that solid waste has the ability to accumulate and physically harm the ecosystem.
In the past, the consequences of human activity were dispersed across vast areas of land and water. With the recent substantial increase in pollution, city expansion, and rapid industrialization, garbage discharge has multiplied and concentrated in a few model places. Solid wastes are undesired items that cannot be directly injected into steams or emitted into the atmosphere. They are non-liquid, non-gaseous byproducts of activities such as manufacturing, building, cooking, recreation, agriculture, and others that consume and then discard resources.
Glasses, bottles, old newspapers, cartons, plastic bottles, abandoned autos and automotive components, discarded cooking utensils, wraps, dead animals, and so on are examples. Only when socioeconomic elements are incorporated into solid waste management studies can effective solid waste management be achieved. According to Falade, (2018), this technique would allow them to anticipate not just a household's expenditure pattern and how much trash would be created by each specific item consumed, but also the quality of wastes made by the household. Boyd and Hawkins conducted the first notable attempt to analyse this topic using this technique (1971) With little success, it might be claimed that this technique could allow the data gathered to be transformed into an input for a national solid waste generation prediction because the home is the fundamental locus of consumption and trash creation. This type of projection would help urban environmental planners better and more sensibly address the problem of trash in metropolitan settings. Furthermore, waste management authorities may use the findings of such research to improve or initiate innovations in waste management processes.
The recognition of the necessity to highlight the socioeconomic elements of waste creation and management, as well as their implications for solid waste management, formed the basis for the current research of the Zaria metropolitan region of Kaduna state.
