This study has been designed to investigate the effectiveness of decentralized solid waste management scheme in Tanzania specifically in Nyamagana municipality. Simple random and purposive sampling procedures were used to obtain respondents from Nyamagana and Pamba wards, thus led to a total sample of 126 respondents.
