What is the waste management system in Dhaka?
0 views
Dhaka's waste management is handled by the two city corporations (DNCC and DSCC). Waste is collected from households and dumped in landfills like Amin Bazar and Matuail. The system faces challenges including insufficient collection coverage, lack of recycling infrastructure, and limited landfill space. Community-based waste collection systems operate in many neighborhoods. Informal waste pickers recycle plastics, paper, and metal. The government is exploring waste-to-energy plants and improved recycling systems. Residents can help by separating organic and recyclable waste at home.
