Definición:
In order to generate the proportion of urban solid waste regularly collected and that is adequately discharged
out of all the total urban waste generated by the city, there is a need to define the two components that are
core to this indicator i.e. what constitutes urban waste and appropriate final discharge.
A two stage process is proposed for computing this indicator. First, cities will have to monitor the total
waste generated by the city. Out of this tonnage, they will have to compute the proportion of the waste
that was regularly collected from the various sources that generate city waste.
Solid waste regularly collected = Summation in tonnes of all regularly collected waste for all sources.
Total Solid waste = Sum of all waste generated by the city or urban area including collected
and uncollected solid waste
At the second stage, cities will have to estimate the proportion of all waste that was regularly collected
and was adequately discharged.
Adequately discharged solid waste= Regularly collected Solid waste that is reported as adequately
discharged
Solid waste regularly collected and with adequate final dischraged =100[ ((Adequately discharged
urban solid waste)/(total tonnage of waste generated by the city)) ]
