The Importance of Waste Segregation at Source: Building a Cleaner and Healthier Nigeria

One of the most overlooked but most effective ways to tackle the growing waste problem in Nigeria is waste segregation at the source. Simply put, it means sorting your waste properly right where it is generated—whether in homes, offices, schools, or marketplaces.

In cities like Osogbo and beyond, unsegregated waste clogs gutters, pollutes water, breeds disease, and wastes precious recycling opportunities. With population growth, urbanization, and increasing consumption, there is no better time than now to embrace source-level waste segregation.

In this post, we’ll explore what waste segregation at source means, why it matters, how it works, and what Biorecyclers is doing to help Nigerians make it part of daily life.

The Waste Problem in Nigeria: How Biorecyclers Are Making a Difference in Osogbo

Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, generates an estimated 32 million tons of solid waste annually, making it one of the largest waste producers in sub-Saharan Africa. From Lagos to Kano, Port Harcourt to Abuja—and especially in rising urban canters like Osogbo, the capital of Osun State—waste management has become a national challenge. The consequences? Blocked drainages, environmental pollution, flooding, disease outbreaks, and an unsightly urban landscape. Despite several government efforts, the informal waste sector, inadequate infrastructure, lack of public awareness, and poor policy implementation have all contributed to the worsening waste crisis in Nigeria. But amid the problem, a solution is rising from within. Biorecyclers, a forward-thinking waste management company headquartered in Osogbo, is taking bold steps to tackle the issue and offer cleaner, sustainable solutions to individuals, communities, and businesses.
