Seasonal and daily generation and characteristic of household solid waste in a Mekong Delta city, Vietnam

抄録

Two-stage survey of 100 households was conducted for dry season and rainy season in 2009. Household solid waste was collected from each household and classified into 10 physical categories and 83 subcategories. The average household solid waste generation rate was 283.10 and 287.46 g/cap/day as dry season and rainy season, respectively. The authors also analyzed the differences of waste generation by physical compositions associated with different factors, such as seasonal and daily variation. Results show that the significant average differences were found by the different seasons and by the different days in a week.
