Abstract (EN): Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) as an integral part of the urban environment that require proper planning to ensure the safety of human and its environment. Nigeria became an increasingly urbanized society because of the oil boom in the 1970s. Rapid population growth simultaneously increases the quantity of waste generation in any society. Again, environmental indiscipline, poor management practices by the authorities, non implementation and enforcement of the environmental laws attributes to indiscriminate dumpsites in our cities. Hence this study aimed at the behavior of Nigerians towards municipal solid waste disposal using an integrated approach. The methodology adopted was a conceptual framework which has four stages (Initiators, Channel, procedure, and recipient). In conclusion, incorporating the conceptual framework it into the formal solid waste management structure in Nigeria will encourage self discipline, educate the people, promote pollution free and sustainable environment. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, London.
