Factors Affecting the Use of Environmental Values and Ethics in Solid Waste Management Management in Nairobi County

The Kenyan 2010 constitution guarantees clean and healthy environment which seems to be threatened daily by the increased solid waste generation and mushrooming of dumpsites. This has been contributed by people’s negative attitude towards waste management, which is a common habit in developing countries; resulting to illegal dumping and littering of waste in open spaces, drains and gutters, impacting negatively on the environment and human health.

This study sought to identify the factors that affect the use of environmental ethics and values in solid waste management.
