The amount of waste in the developing Dhaka city is reaching a point where the Metropolitan is running out of space for discarding. This increasing waste is becoming an issue not only for the lack of space but also due to it being the cause of illness, pollution, destruction of natural beauty of the city. The city has already successfully polluted its once primary water source, the Buriganga River. In the current scenario, waste management has become an essential factor. Both quantitative and qualitative disposal is absolutely crucial. In this study a new model of a waste power plant has been proposed which will require less manpower, will create lesser pollution than existing waste power plant models and will put use to a large mass of waste that goes unused in the city.

Abstract
The amount of waste in the developing Dhaka city is reaching a point where the Metropolitan is running out of space for discarding. This increasing waste is becoming an issue not only for the lack of space but also due to it being the cause of illness, pollution, destruction of natural beauty of the city. The city has already successfully polluted its once primary water source, the Buriganga River. In the current scenario, waste management has become an essential factor. Both quantitative and qualitative disposal is absolutely crucial. In this study a new model of a waste power plant has been proposed which will require less manpower, will create lesser pollution than existing waste power plant models and will put use to a large mass of waste that goes unused in the city.
Author Keywords: Waste Minimization, energy from waste, waste management, waste power plant, power generation.
