Barrel
Type Composting for Slums in Dhaka
Project Period: 1998-2000
Waste Concern, with support from UNDPs
LIFE program has introduced a pilot barrel type-composting project
in two slums of Dhaka city. Under this project Waste Concern has supplied
specially designed barrel to slum dwellers for composting, which not
only solves the waste disposal problem at source but at the same time
has created income generating activities for the slum dwellers.
