The study examined the influence of rural-urban migration on waste management in the Enugu metropolis. It was motivated by the waste disposal problems and challenges in the coal city. The specific objectives sought were to: determine the impact of rural-urban migration, the influence of irregular collection and disposal of refuse, and the influence of indiscriminate dumping of refuse on waste management in the Enugu metropolis. A survey design was adopted for the study. The area of study was the Enugu metropolis which includes Enugu East, Enugu South and Enugu North local government areas. The study covered activities of Enugu State Waste Management Agency, household residents, as well as contractors on waste management in the Enugu metropolis. The study population, 722,664, was drawn from the three local governments areas mentioned. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire. Data collected were presented in Likert 5-points scale, and analysed with a measure of central tendency (Mean). Results indicate that increase in rural-urban migration have a negative impact on waste generation and management in Enugu State. The study recommended among other things that the Enugu State government should try to stem the tide of rural-urban migration and also develop strategies to control indiscriminate dumping of refuse in the city while ensuring that refuse collection and disposal are timely and regularly done across the Enugu metropolis.
