The increasing solid waste generation rate, high management costs, and lack of understanding of factors that
affect the different stages of solid waste management and linkages between these functional elements are some of
the problems faced by municipal authorities in developing countries (Guerrero et al., 2013). Residents on the other
hand have insufficient storage facilities for generated solid wastes and collection operation by the municipal
authority is equally limited. It is documented that developing countries spend 20-50 percent of their regular budget
on solid waste management, yet 30-60 percent of urban solid waste is uncollected and less than half of the
population is served (World Bank, 2011). In particular, low service coverage may be attributable to the spatial
structure of some cities and the existing link between solid waste generators and managers
