Abstract Cassava offers by-products of processing such as peels and effluents, which seldom are disposed without proper treatments. These rich in organic matter cyanogenic compounds, can be potentially hazardous to the environment. For sustainable waste management ecological balance, a systematic investigation was carried out analyse physicochemical properties cassava effluents their effects on biodiversity. Standard methods were utilised these parameters. The results for ranged from 3.41–3.81 pH, 2467.10–3630.97 mg/L biochemical oxygen demand (BOD 5 ), 2715.10–3329.90 total solids (TS), 1888.20–2235.00 suspended (TSS), 869.00–1244.40 dissolved (TDS), 3.64–4.85 ppm cyanide (HCN), 0.11–0.21 nitrogen (total N). chemical composition showed ranges 85.64–89.81% dry matter, 12.00–19.50% crude protein, 3.70–6.00% fat, 2.67–4.59% ash, 13.00–15.70% fibre, 4.15–7.89% sugar, 26.36–44.34% starch, 11.17–12.87% amylose, 0.80–14.90 content. analysis revealed that some characteristics exceeded standards set by Federal Environmental Protection Agency Nigeria (FEPA) World Health Organisation (WHO) drinking water aquatic life. This study suggests centres has contributed environmental pollution surrounding communities. Therefore, effective practices recommended prevent further degradation.
