The study investigates environmental impact of indiscriminate waste disposal on river channel in part of AkokoRegion,
Ondo State, Nigeria. The study further identified; method of waste disposal within the study area, influence of waste
disposal method on open space and streams, reaction of water to waste disposal method, environmental problems
associated with waste deposited on river channel. Primary data for the study were generated through questionnaire
administration and water sample analysis. Sixty questionnaires were systematically distributed in each of the selected
sampled locations that included Ise, Akunu, Ikakumo, Ugbe and Ikare settlements based on interval of fourth house from
another house. Twenty-two water samples were randomly collected from the selected sampled settlement in order to
identify their physical properties using in-situ method. Simple percentages were employed for data analysis while tables and
figures presented findings of study. It was observed that wastes are being flushed into streams and thereby affects the odor,
taste and coloration of water quality. Flooding activities identified in this area is majorly caused by indiscriminate waste
disposal that blocks water drainages. The study therefore recommends provision of waste management strategy that will
ensure neatness of environment and avoid pollution of water with effective refuse collection and disposal system within the
study area and the related environments.
