Abstract
One of the largest environmental and public health issues that Nigeria is facing today is inadequate facilities for management of solid wastes. Design of sanitary land fill was done with major emphases on determination of the lifespan/target year and location of a suitable site. In this study a sanitary landfill system of depth 3.6 m, width 30.3m and length 72.8 m was designed and a model of it fabricated. The design of sanitary land fill entails the determination of the lifespan, location of a suitable site and carrying out financial analysis and determining the construction schedule of the landfill. Analysis of results obtained indicated that decomposable wastes (55.516%) are more generated than non-decomposable waste (44.484%) especially in Ado Ekiti. It is therefore recommended that government should take the management of waste serious because it can serve as a source of income.
