Abstract | Eleven specifically defined residential solid waste collection systems were evaluated to determine, insofar as possible, the significance of specific system parameters on productivity, efficiency, and costs. These parameters included point of collection, frequency of collection, crew size, equipment type, collection methodology, incentive system, type of storage container, and amount of waste generated. Four crews in each of the 11 systems were studied for a period of one year, using time and motion studies, backyard surveys, and a computerized data acquisition and analysis program (DAAP) for daily information. The data were collected between August 1972 and January 1974. |
