Abstract
Rapid urbanization combined with high economic growth, industrialization, and changes in socio-economic conditions increase the quantity of municipal solid waste. Cities located in South-Asia are facing serious issues due to waste, with countries like India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan top of the list of bad waste management. The increasing generation of solid waste and also the improper management of waste in Bangladesh leads to environmental degradation. Current waste management practice in Bangladesh is so weak that day by day it is harming the climate and creating a lot of unwanted situations. This research consists of an examination of the current administrative measures and presents another proposition for the executive cycle to decrease ecological contamination. The research study aims to decrease the amount of waste being dumped into municipal sanitary landfill sites & converting the waste into energy which is both financially and environmentally suitable by involving unemployed people in the management system. The results of this study will give an idea of how waste can be utilized as a resource and how this resource can be a capital good as well as how the local level problems can be solved by taking some strategies and making our environment suitable for future generations.

Summary
Solid waste means any garbage, refuse, sludge from a wastewater or water treatment plant, or air pollution control facility and other discarded material, resulting from industrial, commercial, mining, and agricultural operations, and community activities [1]. There are various types of waste but essentially solid waste can be divided into three major types: 1) municipal waste, 2) industrial waste, 3) hazardous waste. The focus is on municipal solid waste which includes food wastes, garbage, papers, cardboard, plastics, wood, glass, etc. Issues arise when there is mismanagement of municipal solid waste. The focus is on managing the waste in a better way and exploiting it so that it can become a resource. Equal focuses needed to be given to economic, social, and environmental sustainability for successful outcomes
