The research is focus on creating awareness about the health implication of poor urban waste management. This study aims to outline a comprehensive and feasible policy to address the awareness about the health implication  , which would subsequently improve health indicators for urban households. In this study, we carry out an objective assessment of the health damages , The results derived on the cost of illness will contribute to policy implications for the waste management sector.The spreading of uncollected heaps of waste is visible almost everywhere, posing a major threat to public health and the quality of the local environment. There is a fundamental difference between the processes of waste collection and disposal adopted by most of the public and private agencies in the Maiduguri  and the operationally available best practices accounting for sustainability and circular economy. It is alarming that waste is typically discarded in an unauthorized way and that many residents of the metropolis do not dump their waste at the designated sites. Even the planned urban areas lack appropriate waste collection. Private Service providers in the waste management sector operate either on a commercial basis where services are provided to those who demand it or as private operators who serve all residents of a locality and receive a subsidy from local municipal governments. In addition, source-segregation of waste materials among households prior to collection is unusual in the sample compared to in advanced countries, where waste is typically segregated and collected separately.

Household participation can help in resource conservation and providing economic value through appropriate waste handling, which reduces environmental pollution and minimizes the financial costs of waste disposal. However, the participation rates of the community in waste management remain low in developing countries, perhaps due to a lack of understanding of segregation, individual behavior, or issues regarding aware
