Abstract:
Waste management is one of the most concerned topics nowadays. The present study aimed to understand the wastes which are generated mostly by the urban people of Savar, Dhaka. It has unveiled a very depressing scenario of Solid Waste Management in
savar. In Savar, wastes are generated from multifarious sources, stored and collected in an unplanned manner, carried in the same way. The most devastating situation is that these wastes are dumped in open places without considering health, hygiene, and environmental issues. Everywhere in the waste management system and the community, proper planning and care are mostly required to reshape the waste management system. The collection, dumping, and disposal capacity of the Pourashava should be increased. Moreover, city dwellers awareness should be built and developed to reduce waste generation at the sources. The authority should develop a recycling mechanism to ensure the reuse of a particular thing. Finally, a two-way communication, cooperation, contribution, and partnership of both the authority and community people can ensure very delicate and proper management of waste management of Savar.
