Projection of the Existing Landfill Area for Waste Disposal at the Barisal City Corporation

Abstract

Waste generation is an indispensable part of human existence. The proportion of the waste generation in Bangladesh have been rising with population increasing and urbanization. The purpose of this study is to estimate the amount of waste produced in Barishal city and estimate its future landfill needs. The creation of a well-planned and sustainable waste management system is required due to the increasing difficulties urban regions experience in disposing of their trash. The study models the future trash volume using information on waste creation, population estimates and waste management techniques. First, I conducted the fiend survey in person and formulated some questions based on it. I collected the answers from residents and the city corporation authority. Based on that I have completed the calculation. Through analysis I will determine the capacity of landfill and duration will it take to fill. After completing the whole process and the feedback of the residents I could discuss some potential features that might contribute in future management of the wastes for this city.
