1.1 Background
Bangladesh government and Japanese government agreed the implementation of an environmental
grand aid project to enhance the waste collection capacity of DCC in line with the project purpose of
Project for Strengthening of Solid Waste Management in Dhaka City (The Project). Dhaka City
Corporation (DCC) will receive 100 waste collection vehicles including 35 compactor trucks from
Japan through the environmental grand aid project.
At present, DCC work waste collection with use of open trucks and container carriers. It is first time
for DCC to introduce compactor truck for waste collection. In order to introduce compactor truck
smoothly and effectively, Project Team of The Project carried out this field survey for selection of the
areas to be introduced and obtaining basic information for collection plan.
3. Schedule
This survey was conducted from end of August to middle of September, 2009.
4. Target area
Target areas for this survey which were selected in consideration of residential type are shown in
below. The target areas for the survey were selected on the basis of result of a preliminary site survey.

Zone 4 Ward 33 No.15 T & T colony, Postal Colony, Bangladesh Bank Colony
Waste amount generated:
There are approximate 1032 households in all the quarters of this area. By the calculation of 2
Kg/HH we get that total 2064 Kg wastes are generated. But CI said it will not be a good
compactor site. Because the cleaners work just in the morning.
Primary collection: C
Here no rickshaw van is engaged for SWM collection. They have own cleaners and each
morning these cleaners too k the waste from dustbin to container.
Waste picking activity: A
As their own cleaner waste picking activity is very low.
Source separation: C
Residents are mostly mid income to low income. They are not very careful for the segregation
of wastes.
Waste collection system: B
2; 5 ton containers are located at the main road of Kamalapur between two colonies. Wastes
from this area are coming to any of these containers.
Association: A
There is association and they engaged their cleaners for each colony.
CI’s interest: C
CI is not interested to use compactor for this area.
Distance from landfill (only for 5 ton): A
Access of compactor truck: A
Main road is specious. Compactor can easily enter through the access road.
Location for open station: A
Inside the collection area there are some places where compactor can be stood very short time.

Zone 6 Ward 43 No. 18 PC Culture Housing (road 1-14) & Probal Housing
Waste amount generated:
There are approximate 4851 households in two hosuing. By the calculation of 2 Kg/HH we get
that total 9702 Kg wastes are generated.
From RV information: If we consider 400kg/RV, total waste amount 6400 Kg.
From CI information, 20 RV trips are producing each day which means 8000Kg.
In consideration of above result, expected waste amount is 8025 Kg.
Primary collection: B
DCC permitted PCSP “Environmental clean Project” is working at road no 1-7 with 4 RV’s
(8trips total). And “PC culture Housing Society” is taking care of road no 8-14 with 3 RV’s (6
trips total). At Probal Housing association engaged one RV which is making 2 trips daily.

segregation of wastes.
Waste collection system: B
4; 5 ton containers are located at the Ring Road.
Association: A
There is association and they welcomed our activity.
CI’s interest: A
CI is highly interested to use compactor for this area.
Distance from landfill (only for 5 ton): B
Access of compactor truck: A
Main road is specious. Compactor can easily enter through the access road. In some cases roads
are not well paved.
Location for open station: A
Inside the collection area there are some places where compactor can be stood very short time.

Zone 5 Ward 53 No. 23 New Baily Road Apartments & Food shops
Waste amount generated:
There are approximate 600 families living at 10 apartments in this area. By the calculation of 4
Kg/HH (for apartment waste; the assumption is 10 persons are living and per head waste amount
0.4 Kg), we get that total 2400 Kg wastes are generated. Here are 23 food shops which are
producing huge domestic wastes. If we predict 100 Kg/day/shop, 2300Kg of wastes generated
every day.
In consideration of above result, expected waste amount is 5000 Kg.
Primary collection: A
No PCSP is responsible for the waste collection of these apartments and shops. Wastes are
collected by their own cleaners to nearby container.
Waste picking activity: A
As the own cleaners are dumping the wastes here will not be any problem regarding the
segregation of the recyclables.
Source separation: B
Residents are mostly High mid income. But they are not very careful for the segregation of
wastes.
Waste collection system: B
Wastes are carried to the nearby 5 ton container at the main road.
Association: A
There is some kind of association at each quarter and they are very much cooperative.
CI’s interest: A
CI is highly interested to use compactor for this area. Because the conatainer surrounding is
very bad and it creates hazards at main road.
Distance from landfill (only for 5 ton): B
Access of compactor truck: A
Main road is specious. Compactor can easily enter through the access road.
Location for open station: A
Inside the collection area there are some places where compactor can be stood very short time.

Project Team selected areas for field survey described in Table 4.1. Nine areas out of them are
canceled or postponed because of reasons mentioned in below.

Compactor trucks will take longer time to collect the wastes than existing container carriers. However
the compactor truck will make two trips a day in accordance with plan which the environmental grand
aid project had prepared. In consideration of it, waste collection work of compactor truck shall be
carried out quickly and effectively to reduce the time. In order to reduce the time, Project Team
focused on Large Waste Generators however most of the Large Waste Generators generated waste less
than 5 ton. Project Team studied the combinations among some close candidate areas in consideration
of expected waste amount, residential type, primary collection etc. In conclusion, the following areas
were combined
All areas were analyzed on the basis of Criteria mentioned in 5.1. The result on analysis for
introduction of 5 ton compactor and 2 ton are shown in below, respectively.
