The objectives of the study were to; identify the information needed on garbage collection at Nabugabo Updeal Joint Venture, examine the current Garbage Management Information System used at NUJV, establish the challenges in the current Garbage Management Information System used at NUJV and design a Garbage Management Information System for NUJV.
The study adopted a case study research design while adopting a qualitative research approach during the data collection. Interview and observation methods of data collection were used. Purposive sampling method was used to select the 6 respondents who participated in the study at NUJV.
