WHAT IS THE WASTE MANAGEMENT TRAINING ABOUT?
The waste management sector is a rapid growing essential industry that encompasses the collection, transport, recycling, treatment, processing, disposal and monitoring of waste gotten from various sources such as households, industries and commercial facilities.
Waste management involves Solid, Liquid, Gaseous and Radioactive substances, with different method or fields of expertise for each. It is no longer news that the waste industry not only in Nigeria or Africa but globally is worth billions and is expected to increase as human population will keep increasing.
Waste is put into three basic classes - domestic, industrial and hazardous wastes. The concept of waste is so vast that to venture into the waste industry, you will need to decide on an area of specialization. This includes: general solid waste (putrescible & non-putrescible, restricted/special solid waste and e-waste), liquid waste (organic & inorganic liquid and special/restricted liquid waste), and gaseous waste.
