Solid Waste Management In Dhaka City: Problems And Prospects

This paper explores the problems and prospects of solid waste management in Dhaka city. It also mentions the trends of urban waste creation in Bangladesh. This inability to manage urban solid waste consists of failures in the following areas: inadequate services, inadequate financing, inadequate environmental controls, poor institutional structure, inadequate understanding of complex systems, inadequate sanitation and lack of implementation proper environmental laws. There is a good market for compost in Bangladesh. Waste concern helps the communities sell their compost to a number of businesses like fertilizer companies, and plant nurseries. Floating children are the victims of many social problems. The chemical waste of mills and factories, household waste, medical waste, sewage, dead animals, plastics, and oil are responsible for the Buriganga's pollutants. There is no single solution to improve solid waste management system in any city. It must be based on integrated systems with a combination of different methods.
