AB  - Information on waste generation, socio economic characteristics and willingness of the households towards waste separation of waste were obtained from interviews with 402 respondents in Dhaka city. Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression was used to determine the dominant factors that might influence the waste generation of the households. The results showed that the waste generation of the households in Dhaka city was significantly affected by household size, income, concern about the environment and willingness to separate the waste. These factors are necessary to effectively improve waste management, growth and performance as well as to reduce the environmental degradation of the household waste.
