Abstract

This report presents the data of sorted components of domestic waste in average weight percentages for the year 1992. The quality of domestic waste depends on a variety of factors: standards and habits of living, degree of industrialization, size of the region or community, seasonal variations. Taking these factors into account specific districts have been selected in the following municipalities: - Arnhem (one-family houses, apartment buildings) - Amsterdam (old district) - Amsterdam (new district) - Overasselt (situated in a rural area in the vicinity of the city of Nijmegen).
