Sustainable management for commercial solid waste is a concerning fact in Khulna city to lessen environment pollution and health problems which are also contribute to the climate changes. This study helps to scrutiny the existing management process and introduces a new proposal of management process to abate environmental pollution. The study has been conducted in the third largest city in the country Khulna,located in the southern part of Bangladesh to determine the generation rates, physical composition and characterization of commercial solid waste (CSW) and to identify the current situation of commercial solid waste management. A structured questionnaire was processed and waste collected from different waste generating sources was segregated and weighed. Commercial solid waste generation rate was found 0.44kg/person/day and an average commercial unit generated 3.93 kg of waste per day. In the generation of CSW, vegetable/food waste was highest (44%) followed by 17% of packaging material and 13% of plastic/polythene/rubber and lowest (2%) found as can/metal/tin. By weight, 51% of the waste was compostable in nature. It is necessary to take initiatives by both public and private sectors for effective management of waste.
