Abstract

ABSTRACT 

Bangladesh is a fast-growing developing country and Buildings in Mymensingh city areas are increasing rapidly in the last five years. The management of construction and demolition trash is an issue given the dramatic increase in 20-building construction. Environmental contamination has risen recently due to a lot of development and demolition trash. Building materials, collection techniques, recycling, and disposal should all be evaluated to assess this problem. This article demonstrates the Reuse, Recycling, and Disposal of Construction and Demolition waste as a way for environmental protection, and Construction and Demolition waste management. The investigation was based on field visits, interviews, secondary data sources, and conceptual methods. We surveyed 300 construction sites (buildings) in Mymensingh city as a new city corporation in the country. We found 31% of materials are reused, 26% are recycled and the rest of the materials are nominated as construction waste. This paper also examines the management practices for evaluating the result. Different methods could be used to reduce waste and increase profits through the recovery, reuse, and recycling of construction and demolition waste.  For proper reuse and recycling of Construction and Demolition waste, waste management strategies, reliable and tested case studies are necessary.
