Abstract: Nigeria, like most other developing nations, is experiencing a rapid increase in population with the attendant environmental change which create more centers of daily activities, and the intensity of these centers are of increasing environmental liabilities. Society is currently disposing of tons of waste at designated landfills per day. The sorting facilities are currently saturated, and this is becoming a menace to society. This study seeks to determine the impact of Project Scheduling (PS) and Project Monitoring on the 3Rs of Waste Management. (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) of some selected waste management companies in Lagos State. Survey research design was adopted for this study. The stratified random sampling technique was employed in selecting 129 staff randomly selected from the population. Data was gotten from primary source by using structured questionnaire. The study considered construct and content validities. To test relevant hypotheses, Multiple Regression analysis was adopted. The study found out that there is a strong positive relationship among Project Scheduling, Project monitoring and the 3Rs of Waste Management (R = 0.703)70.3%; the coefficient of multiple determination (Adj. R2 = 0.486) shows that 48.6% of the change in the 3Rs of Waste Management is accounted for by Project Scheduling and Project Monitoring. This implies that Project Scheduling and Project monitoring has a strong influence on the 3Rs of Waste Management. It was therefore recommended that Proper implementation of the 3Rs of Waste Management should be adopted by Waste Management organisations in other to ensure that Project Scheduling and Project Monitoring are adequately executed in other to enhance the Performance of Waste.
