Abstract

Proper waste management process is very important for a healthy city environment. Recently, many city/urban areas have emerged in Bangladesh, where a considerable amount of solid wastes are produced daily. Rangpur City Corporation (RpCC) is a newly developed city in the northern part of Bangladesh having 33 wards. Among them, only 15 wards are practicing solid waste management process. These 15 wards cover the vital portion of RpCC. This paper intends to describe the solid waste management process and present scenario of different waste dumping points within the study area. The primary data has been directly collected from field survey along with GPS survey in order to assess and monitor the waste dumping points. Besides, secondary data/information were collected from books, journal, and websites. This study recommends that a detailed GIS database can be used to monitor and manage the solid waste of the city.
