dc.description.abstractThe study examinedthe relationship between Urbanization and Solid Waste Management in Bwaise II. It was guided by three objectives, to examine how urbanization influences solid waste accumulation in Bwaise II, to assess how urbanization influences solid waste collection in Bwaise II, to find out how urbanization influences transportation in Bwaise II. The study adopted a positivism and phenomenological approaches and used both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. The study population was 145 and a sample size of 124 respondents. The studyrevealed that solid waste accumulation had Adjusted R Square of 34.9%, while solid waste collection had Adjusted R Square of 54.2% and solid waste disposalhad Adjusted R Square of 18.0%. In conclusion, it is noted that there is a statistically significant relationship between urbanisation and solid waste management and hence the null hypothesis was rejected. This is because all the p-values for the research objectives were below the alpha of 0.05. The study suggested that Bwaise II management through its health department should hatch strategies of ensuring the community is committed to preventing and minimizing waste generation as well as its sorting at the household level. It was also suggested that Bwaise II in partnership with the Local Community should establish and develop composting initiatives, collection centers for recyclable waste, collection segregated wasteen_US
