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.
