Analysis and Findings The question inquired about the frequency of waste collection by Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) waste collectors from roadside open bins. The most common frequency reported was once a week, with 43% of respondents indicating this. Daily collection was mentioned by 22%, while 2-3 times a week was reported by 16%. A smaller proportion (19%) provided other responses, which varied and included "no idea," "sometimes," "not specified," and "never." The statistical analysis revealed that the mean value was 2.59, with a minimum value of 1 and a maximum value of 4. Overall, the survey data suggests that waste collection from roadside open bins by DCC is primarily reported as once a week, followed by daily and 2-3 times a week. However, the presence of other responses indicating uncertainty or lack of knowledge emphasizes the need for improved communication and awareness about waste collection schedules. These findings highlight the importance of regular and efficient waste collection services to maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the community, and call for transparent and accessible information about waste collection schedules to ensure proper waste management and minimize potential health and environmental risks associated with waste accumulation.
