Solid waste management has been given a serious attention in recent times in the City of Sokoto; however, there still exist heaps of solid wastes littering some important areas within the city. This therefore calls for a study into the solid waste generation in the metropolis with a view to identify the model which will represent the solid waste generation for the city. In this study a total of 100 (one hundred) households were randomly selected within four housing estates in the city. Average five days wastes generation were tabulated for each housing estate and scatter graphs were plotted for each estate using regression analysis. Regression equations generated were tested and only one equation shown a positive correlation between population and waste generation for Sokoto city. This model ‘Yest = 1.622x + 8.9063’ with the correlation coefficient of 0.67 is therefore adopted as the equation to be used in the determination of daily waste generation for Sokoto metropolis. With this, it is concluded that adequate planning can be made for solid waste management in the metropolis since total daily solid waste can be calculated from the equation obtained.
