This research work assessed waste management in Bolgatanga municipality in the upper east region of ghana. Add research objectives here the researcher adopted a simple random sampling method to choose 50 respondents from the municipality. The study revealed that the types of waste were food, plastic and wood. It was also found out that waste management in the municipality was not effective.  It was further revealed that irregular collection of waste and distance to waste bin were the main challenges of waste management in the municipality. It was therefore recommended that the public should be educated by the Bolgatanga municipal assembly on solid and liquid waste and its related problems. Also, environmental protection agency (epa) should enforce epa rules and regulations governing waste management so that people who are found of breaking the rules will be sanctioned appropriately to deter others from going contrarily to the rules.
