摘要：The study examined integrated municipal solid waste management and hierarchy: thepanacea to solid waste issues in Kano metropolis which was anchored on the concept of sustainable development to meet the 2015 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3; 6 and 11 by 2030. Primary data were obtained through administration of 160 structured and semi structured questionnaires and field interview questions to randomly, systematically and purposefully sampled population. Secondary data were obtained from desk review of other literatures, journals, seminars, conference papers and REMASAB‟s records. Descriptive statistic and model were employed for analyses of the data. Findings revealed that 75.6% are of the view that REMASAB and Private Waste Management Institutions majored in waste collection and disposal at dumpsites, 10.6% reported that the waste management agencies practice Integrated Municipal Solid Waste (IMSWM) and 5.8% opined to waste management hierarchy (WMH). The public clamoured for the IMSWM and WMH in the metropolis. REMASAB performance was measured 31.6% using IMSWM scored board. The study also reveals that 77% of the REMASAB and private waste institutions do not have biological treatment facility and suggested the adaption of USEPA models of IMSWM and WMH. The study further recommends paradigm shift from municipal solid waste collections and disposals to an integrated waste management, provision of sufficient fund, supervision and incorporation of all management factors for sustainable environment.
