Abstract
This article aims to look at find out the existing condition of the way the community hanlde
their wastes, at the level of household, to analyse points which back the community
participation, having constrains of the handling of the existing wastes and waste-related
problems which the community of the respective city face. The questionaire-based survey,
was engaged into the research as the survey method while the stratified random sampling
was engaged throughout the analysis of the same as the sampling technique. The results
shows that existence of an operational public waste collecting system tends to lessen the
waste-related problem in the respondents’ residential enviroment. Four factors which
differentiate the respondents who participate from those who do not, in respect to waste
treatment are: behaviour of disposing waste to river, behaviour of burrying the wastes, the
problem of smell and the problem of river pollution. Existence of a good public waste
collecting system which can overcome the waste-related problems in the residential
environemnt of the community, can motivate the same to participate in better treating and
manage their wastes.
