This study investigates the effects of domestic waste disposal among communities in the Western region of Sierra Leone and its effects on the environment in Western Rural and Western Urban areas. Waste management is a challenge in Africa and has caused health issues and adverse effects on the global climate. This study was conducted within the Freetown municipality, and data was collected from 300 respondents. A non-probability sampling technique was employed to collect information from respondents. According to the study, most people dispose of waste weekly, and their garbage is smaller. Also, the researchers revealed that people prefer burning waste in the air to other methods, and many do not have dustbins or containers in their compounds. Nevertheless, this method of waste disposal causes ill conditions in the heart, kidneys, and other vital organs. The study showed that plastics, rubbers, and paper are the common domestic waste in Freetown. Rubber and plastic are mainly used to gather waste, and this breeds parasites that cause malaria and other environmental diseases. Trucks and tricycles are used to transport waste to dumping sites.
