Abstract
Several effects of the commercial and business waste discharge were investigated to evaluate the administrative management system of household waste in the Japanese 324 municipalities. A significant correlation between many factors in the household waste management and the daily per capita discharge of the commercial and business waste was obtained. Regional characteristics of the commercial activities in the objected municipalities suggest urbanization should promote the intrusion of commercial and business waste into the household waste. The difference between daily per capita total waste dealing in municipalities that do not accept the commercial and business waste and daily per capita total waste dealing in municipalities that accept the commercial and business waste was nearly 200g/capita/day. A qualification of total waste reduction with the charged waste collecting system was also extracted by using the classifications of a significant administrative waste management system and regional characteristics.
