Solid waste management or the absence of it in Dibrugarh town, considered one of the fastest growing industrial towns of Assam, remains a worrying issue.

There is no formal door to door garbage collection system in the town. Neither are wastes segregated at source. Waste disposed off by people in roadside bins or enclosures are collected in trailers by a few tractors and dumped in the open on the bank of River Brahmaputra at Maijan Road.
