Abstract

With no doubt, the state of the environment in Bangladesh’s urban regions is deteriorating day by day due to pollution for several causes. One of the most important factors is inappropriate solid waste management. Solid waste generation is a major issue in metropolitan settings, and its disposal is a requirement for both the city government and the general public. Waste is an issue that is impossible to solve only by the government; nevertheless, right policies, laws, effective strategies, adequate administration, and increased public awareness may help to preserve the environment from pollution. Furthermore, by properly treating hazardous solid waste, energy can be recovered. This study examines solid waste generation, waste management systems, their drawbacks, and the environmental and public health impacts of poor waste management in the Dinajpur district of Bangladesh. Finally, the find out talks about the extraordinary strength recoverable techniques such as bio-composting, incineration, gasification, pyrolysis, recycling and makes some advice on how to decorate the stable waste administration system.
