Abstract: This study evaluates the logistics performance of solid waste management in FUTO by examining the strength of correlation existing between collection frequency, waste volume collected per day and waste tonnage per trip. The prescriptive model developed from the regression is Y = 0.555 + 0.037X1 + 0.018X2-0.034X3 + 0.006511 from the secondary data collected from the Office for University Development. The results showed a strong positive correlation between waste volumes collected per day, waste tonnage per trip with logistics performance. While an inverse correlation existed between logistics performance and collection frequency. Conclusively Campus-wide solid waste management can be design with this model for optimal logistical performance.
