Abstract

A healthy urban environment depends heavily on effective waste management. Recently, a large number of city/urban areas have sprung up in Bangladesh, where daily production of solid waste is rather high. Rangpur City Corporation (RpCC) is a recently built city with 33 wards in the northern region of Bangladesh. Only 15 of them out of the total practice solid waste management. The essential area of RpCC is covered by these 15 wards. This study aims to detail the solid waste management procedure as well as the current state of various garbage dumping locations inside the research region. In order to evaluate and keep track of the trash dumping places, the primary data was directly gathered via field survey in order to assess and monitor the waste dumping points. Besides, additional data/information were collected from books, journal, and websites. This study suggests the lean tool kanban and visual management to keep the solid waste management process standard and keep on the road of continuous improvement. Kanban is very helpful to avoid breakdown of solid waste management process. On the other hand, visual management also can take a part to make the solid waste management easier and more helpful to avoid any fault in this process by its implementation.
