“…In these studies, the data was collected through door-to-door and the sample size was variable since it was determined by the number of housing structures containing from 160 to 300 housing units. At the same time, some research was carried out by socioeconomic stratification (low, median and high) and others as a single unit without socioeconomic stratification [24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

A comprehensive study of the generation and characterization of municipal solid waste is essential to the longterm efficient and economical planning for solid waste management. The aim of this study was to quantify and analyze the solid waste generated in the city of Ensenada, Mexico, and to use this data in a project that will generate energy through methane gas production. Ensenada's per capita waste generation is approximately 0.87 ± 0.07 kg per person per day within a 98% confidence interval. Ensenada's solid waste composition consists of food scraps at 34.28%, paper and cardboard 22.49%, plastic 12.53%, disposable diapers 7.14%, and textiles 6.58%. Of the total waste generated, 86.36% has potential for reuse, whereas 13.65% has no further identifiable use and must be landfilled. Of the usable percentage, 48.34% can be recycled and 51.66% can be used to generate energy, obtaining financial and environmental benefits.

HHSen (orokorrean) eta errefusaren (bereziki) konposizioaren kasuan, eragina eduki ditzaketen faktoreen artean [10][11][12] garrantzitsuenetarikoak 1go taulan bildu dira.…”

Abstract: The following research work includes the proposed methodology and the resultsobtained for the characterization of the mixed waste fraction of the urban solid waste managed by the consortium of Gorbea Foothills in Alava. In order to conform the samples of urban waste analysed, the routes to be carried out by the trucks were designed, and for these two variables were taken into account: the season (winter and summer) and the area (urban, rural or chalets origin). The analyses carried out show that these two variables have an effect on the composition of the mixed waste fraction, especially on the two major fractions: organic matter and other residues. Within the fraction analysed, more or less 65 % of the waste could be recycled or reused. In general, all the samples analysed show a great improvement margin in terms of selective collection of organic matter.

“…400 for each case study. Large sample number is also recommended to ensure a higher statistical accuracy and confidence level (UNEP, 2009b; Gomez et al, 2009). According to Jacob et al (1990) a large sample is much more likely to be representative of the population.…”

“…In Abuja the rapid growing waste generation rates and high cost of waste disposal, depletion of landfill space and the problem of obtaining new disposal sites thereby resulting in open dumping are unresolved issues. This makes it difficult for waste management authorities to identify and create solutions (Gomez et al, 2009). Even though several policies and programmes have been put in place to manage municipal solid waste, they prove ineffective due to financial and human constraints (Abuja-Citiserve, 2004).…”
