| Summary, etc. | The population of Dhaka has swelled phenomenally from 3.4 million in 1981 to about 6.4 million in 1991. Unplanned growth of urban population cause reckless generation of solid wastes and exert tremendous pressure on existing service. The traditional concept of providing solid waste service for virtually free of charge by the city corporation and poor management of solid waste aggravated the waste management problem causing more than half of the generated solid wastes remain uncollected and disposed of locally, making the environmental scenario of the metropolis quite gloomy and dismal for the future. Effective application of regulatory and economic instruments has emerged as one of the approaches to address the growing problem of solid waste management. This study reviews present solid waste management system in Dhaka and explores application of regulatory and economic instruments in the said service for a better waste management performance. The research for this study includes a household survey conducted at four selected areas of Dhaka city. Area observations, household questionnaire survey, secondary information collection and informal discussions with all related actors in domestic solid waste management have been the methods of collecting required information and data. Present study reveals that Dhaka city corporation (DCC) has failed to provide adequate solid waste management service. Only about 50 percent of the generated solid wastes are collected and disposed of by the Dhaka city corporation (DCC). The reasons are identified as lack of proper policy planning, financial inadequacy, lack of coordination among the actors involved in SWM, absence of incentives for reducing wastes, virtual absence of polluters pay principle and lack of regulations and their enforcement. This study shows that the present application of regulatory and economic instruments is very limited for SWM in Dhaka. There are no specific charges or fees for solid waste collection and disposal except an indirect tax called 'rates'. There is no comprehensive and specific legislation also for solid waste management in Dhaka. Although the Dhaka City Corporation Act 1983 and the Municipal Corporation (Taxation) Rules, 1986 deal with responsibilities of DCC regarding solid waste collection and disposal, SWM 'rates' and penalties concerning SWM, they are not clearly defined and enforced yet. Those acts do not contain reference to standards, deposit refund system, incentives, solid waste plans, subsidies, charges, fees-the common tools used in developed countries. On the basis of the existing situation and the present extent of application of the instruments, recommendations are made to apply collection and disposal charges/fees, strengthening deposit refund system, provide incentives, applying standard in different stages of SWM, preparation of solid wastes plan, imposing restrictions and ban for the improvement of solid waste management of Dhaka. |
