The area we covered for our study is a small place of Dhaka. Which is situated in the south and east part of
Dhaka city named Palashi. Where approximately 50 thousand people live. Where has a Govt. staff quarter, a well
known engineering university of Bangladesh BUET. In that study area we see several waste bin for keeping waste.

15. Effects of pollution
Solid wastes are hazard as it adversely affects both biotic as well as abiotic components
of the environment .
Organic solid wastes emits obnoxious odor on their decomposition and make the environment
polluted.
Improperly operated incineration plants cause air pollution and improperly managed and designed
landfills attract all types of insects and rodents that spread disease .

18. Adopt the 3R’S
Before you buy something , ask yourself if you really need it.
Instead of recycling old electronics , see whether they can be given a
new lease of life elsewhere in your friend or family circle.
Always leave the bin as your last resort.
