5. Present Situation of Solid Waste Management in Dhaka City :
• Steps of solid waste Management in Municipal (DNCC & DSCC)
• Waste generation..
• Primary waste collection.
• Secondary waste collection.
• Final Disposal sites.
• Primary waste collection Secondary waste collectiong
• Residents/ NGO DNCC/DSCC
• 1. Waste generated from every households, offices, hospitals in everyday e.g, food waste, paper waste, broken glasses and metals, discarded sanitary installation,
