Negative effects of illegally dumped rubbish
Only 40-50% of the solid waste produced is collected by DCC
The uncollected waste is primarily dumped illegally in the

Neighborhood’s streets
Wastewater drains
Ponds
Lakes etc
Problems
Uncollected waste has been recognized as

the root of inferior environment such as
Scattered Offensive Drain Water Flies & Unsanitary Health Water-

garbage odor clogging pollution Mosquitoes conditions hazards logging
Our Plan
1.Large number of dustbin must be
provided to enable proper collection
1.Glass, aluminum, tin, paper can be of solid wastes according to
easily recycled. So these things categories
should be kept separated from other Recycle
wastes 2.There should be two categories of
waste all around the city.
Collection The categories are- organic waste
of waste and recyclable waste.
Final
1.Before the final disposal the solid
disposal
wastes should be processed to recover
the usable resources.
Transportation
2.The organic wastes can be disposed
through landfills and other wastes
should be reused or recycled. 1.The vehicle used for wastes should not be overloaded.
2.The organic waste and the recyclable waste should be
transported in separate vehicle.
Process

3. House to house
collection
Housewives recover refuse of
higher market value & sell
them to street hawkers Transfer the organic
wastes at landfill

Recycling dealers
Organic wastes will

Intermediate processing like Separates materials Appropriate be converted into
washing, drying and sorting in proper form processing factories compost/fertilizer
5R Strategy
Refuse
At first we should refuse
Reduc non-viable materials
e
Reuse We should reduce the uses
We can reuse the same thing again

Repair and again if it is possible
If it is broken, we should repair it
Recycle
At last if it is of no use then we can go for recycle
Implementation
Strict government rules for waste management
Two separate bins-one for organic wastes and
another for recyclable wastes. If it is not obeyed
then one should be fined Targets monitored monthly and reported to the
appropriate authorities
Expand sanitary waste disposal and landfill
management
Develop infrastructure for waste utilization
Integrate waste management and social inclusion
Promote innovation in waste collection services

Ensure and implement integrated waste
management systems
Support development of market economy for waste
recycling
Use digital mapping to manage solid waste
Implementation

Sustainability & Effectiveness
New plan
Current overview
Steps
Organic & Recyclable wastes
All the wastes are
will be collected separately
Collection collected together
The wastes are Separate vehicles will be used for

Transport different kinds of wastes
transported all together
Open burning, dumping A part of Organic wastes will be

Disposal used for compost and non-organic
landfills or kept in an open
place wastes will be recycled or reused
Only paper, glass, Organic wastes will be recycled &
Recycle
metal & plastic is generate biogas & composts.Non-
recycled organic wastes will be scientifically
reused in the factories
Tentative Timeline
Find two spots for making two recycling centers in the both Within 2020
regions of Dhaka City Corporation
Pass a special bill/ordinance/act for the new waste Within 2022

management plan
Import some new trucks and dustbin for collecting the two Within 2025
different types of wastes separately
Finish the construction recycling centers Within 2027
We will notice the changes in waste management system Within 2030
