The two Dhaka City Corporations (DCC North and South) are engaged in this onerous task of removing the wastes from the city. Their waste collection system is of two types: conventional and community based. In Some commercial areas like Framgate, Gulistan, Dhanmondi, Gulshan, Kalabagan, Uttara "House to house" waste service has been organized by some private initiatives. There are areas like Rampura-Bonosree where there are big canals through which wastes are disposed. Rickshaw vans are also used in some places for onward transmission of household wastes to municipal waste carrier containers. Mayors of two city corporations are regularly reiterating their commitments to keep the city clean and free of wastes. Let us see how well they live up to their promises.
