The quantitative method employed was observation checklist. While qualitative method employed was interview. Two sample techniques were used for sample of the respondents. Method of data analysis employed were mapping out the abattoirs in the study area, proximity and nearest neighbour analysis were used using Geographic Information System (GIS). On the other hand, the study reveals that the volume of ASW generated annually is very huge which can jeopardize to the lives of people and environment in general if left unchecked. It is also revealed that the previous methods of abattoir operation used to take place in 20th century were very systematic.
