The population of Sanniquellie is growing exponentially, and urbanization is accelerating. Government in the majority of emerging or transitional cities major challenge is solid waste management, due to the effect of unorganized solid waste disposal. This has had an adverse effect on environmental health, particularly in Liberia. Rapid urbanization, economic growth, rising standards of living, and changes in consumer habits and lifestyles have all contributed to a rise in solid waste.
