De Kleine, Annette | Streifel, Shane | Ju Kim, Eung | Riordan, Mick | Savescu, Cristina
This note discusses common problems in solid waste management, and gives a general description of a community based, pilot project that attempts to test, and establish a partnership approach between communities, and the Khulna City Corporation. The pilot project was divided in three phases: project initiation, where institutional arrangements agreed with Khulna City Corporation at the beginning of the project, allowed Prodipan to carry out primary waste collection, and receive payment for services; community organization, where communities organized over the operation, and maintenance of primary collection systems; and, operation of primary collection system, where waste collection was divided into twenty six primary waste collection blocks. Additional activities are planned to begin by December 2000, i.e., appropriate transfer points, and secondary transportation that integrates well with the primary collection system; feasibility of waste recycling, and composting initiatives; links with the private sector; and, initiation of hospital waste management.
