    This paper examined the factors influencing the emergence and expansion of informal waste collection in waste management sector of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital. Snowball sampling technique was used to identify and sample 253 informal waste collectors across the five municipal local government areas in the city. A pretested structure questionnaire was used to obtain information from the sampled informal waste collectors. Data collected were analysed using Relative Importance Index (RII), 8 x 8 correlation matrix and factor analysis. Eight major factors were identified as influencing the emergence and expansion of informal waste collection. RII showed that in ranked order of importance, they are: poverty; unavailability of better job; profitability; demand for waste management service; low start-up capital; ease of entry; pressure from parents and guardians and low-skill requirement. The correlation matrix indicated that all the factors correlated positively with one another. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sample Adequacy (KMO) value of 0.573 and Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity of p≤ 0.001 established the adequacy of the variables loaded for the analysis. It is concluded that policies and programmes that will enhance integration of IWCs to municipal waste management scheme of the city and check child labour in the sector will go a long way in making the sector more effective in municipal waste management.

    Patronage Pattern of Informal Waste Collectors in Ibadan, Nigeria
    (Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria., 2016) Ola, Akeem Bayonle
    The high rate of waste generation in Ibadan and the inability of the government to ensure total collection have resulted in limiting waste collection service to high and middle income residential areas of the city, thereby neglecting the low income neighbourhoods. The gap in municipal waste collection services has consequently led to patronage of informal waste collectors by residents of the low income areas. This paper therefore examined the nature of patronage of informal waste collectors in the city of Ibadan, Nigeria. A total of 1060 structured questionnaires were administered on purposively selected residents in the five municipal local government areas of Ibadan. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis were used to show the nature and effects of patronage of informal waste collectors on solid waste management. The study established that availability of informal waste collectors, reduction in waste storage time and low collection cost were the major motives for regular patronage of informal waste collectors. The result of Pearson correlation analysis confirmed the hypothesis that availability of informal waste collectors facilitates prompt disposal of waste. The study concluded that based on the vehicular accessibility problem of the high density neighbourhoods coupled with the dwindling resources available to the government, reliance on informal waste collectors will persist for a long period of time. Therefore, effective partnership between the government and informal waste collectors was recommended.
