Types of transportation | Primary Source Storage and Collection | Secondary disposal site (SDS) | Secondary Collection and Transportation | Recycling | Ultimate Disposal |
1) Motorized vehicles 2) Non-motorized vehicles | 1) Waste is generally stored in polythene bags, plastic, and metal containers by city inhabitants. 2) Residents who live near the canals toss their trash into the canals. 3) Shopkeepers dump their trash on the market’s front road. | On-site storage, such as a secondary disposal site (SDS), accepts MSW from the primary source and transports it to a designated place for processing/treatment. | MSW is collected from SDS by using motorizes vehicles and garbage is transferred from community bins to SDS using non-motorized vehicles. Some motorized vehicles, rickshaw vans, and hand trolleys gather the rubbish from communal bins along smaller roads and transport it to larger SDS. | Recycling shops can be found primarily in, Sadarghat, Rupatoli and Nottulabad bus stand, Chanmari market, Port road, Hat Khola hackers market and other locations in Barisal. | At Kawnia BCC runs one ultimate disposal site (UDS). All sorts of MSW, including some medical waste, are disposed of here. The open garbage that has spread around the site is ugly due to the lack of a sufficient mechanism for filling the space. |
