Background of the Study
Environmental health education is essential for promoting sustainable waste management practices. Poor waste disposal contributes to environmental pollution, the spread of diseases, and poor sanitation (WHO, 2024). Educating communities about proper waste management helps in reducing environmental hazards and improving public health.
In Bauchi State, improper waste disposal remains a significant challenge, with many households and public spaces lacking structured waste management systems (Ibrahim & Yusuf, 2024). Environmental health education initiatives aim to address this issue by increasing awareness and encouraging proper waste disposal practices. This study examines the impact of environmental health education on waste management behaviors in Bauchi State.
Statement of the Problem
Despite existing environmental policies, waste mismanagement persists in Bauchi State due to low public awareness, inadequate waste disposal facilities, and poor enforcement of regulations (Adepoju & Salami, 2024). Many residents engage in open dumping and burning of waste, leading to environmental pollution and health risks.
This study evaluates how environmental health education influences waste management practices in Bauchi State and identifies factors affecting its effectiveness.

- To identify challenges affecting effective waste management education.
Research Questions

- There is no significant relationship between environmental health education and community sanitation levels.
- Implementation challenges do not significantly affect the effectiveness of waste management education programs.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study focuses on urban and rural areas of Bauchi State, assessing the effectiveness of environmental health education in improving waste management practices. Limitations include variations in literacy levels, access to waste disposal infrastructure, and enforcement of environmental policies.
