Abstract:

Awareness of solid waste reduction programs is the priority in institutions of higher learning nowadays for a greener environment, thus brought about the issues of 3r's (reduce, reuse and recycle) practice by all the waste generator within Urban and Higher educational institutions (HEIs) around the globe. Integrated solid waste management hierarchy was adopted to enlighten the waste generators to use them in 3r's critical success factor as a substantial method to deal with the situation, given priority to the waste reduction. This paper highlight the awareness method of 3r's and interdependent nature of the higher education institution's environment, as these can result in cost avoidance, and enhance the systematic practice and lessen environmental impacts for effective and efficient solid waste management in HEI's.
