A man sleeps on a bench next to a pile of discarded bins near a local ward councillor's office in the capital's Motijheel area recently. The two Dhaka city corporations installed 6,700 such small bins at the roadside last year to keep the city clean. However, many of those have already become completely useless mainly because of lack of maintenance. Photo: Anisur Rahman
