Meaningful community participation is a challenging, but promising, feature of environmental protection in developing countries such as Kenya and most especially in pollution management. This study employed a descriptive research design. The target population of this study comprised of households’ heads and community leaders as key informants. The sample size of the household heads interviewed were ascertained through the use of Yamane’s formula which arrived at 352 household heads. Primary data was collected through questionnaires which were self- administered with assistance from the research assistants. The study used multiple regressions to establish the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variables. The study established that there was a positive significant correlation between pollution management and responsible waste management as shown by a correlation figure of 0.715. The study also established that there was a positive correlation between pollution management and participatory planning with a correlation figure of 0. 621, and that there was also a positive correlation between pollution management and participatory budgeting with a correlation value of 0.681.
