Service points reporting burning, burial or dumping (percent)
Provisional. Usable pending approval; a project-proposed concept only by the project that proposed it.
Definition
Completed service point evaluations that fulfil a scheduled visit in which the participant reports disposing of any waste by open burning, burial or dumping, on or off the service point, divided by all such evaluations that asked about disposal practices, as a percentage. With the practice axis, the share reporting that practice; a participant may report several, so practice values are never summed. Kind rate.
purpose
To track the leakage routes that harm health and the environment, and which a working service should reduce: waste burnt, buried or dumped outside the service.
rationale
Open burning and dumping are the harms a household waste service exists to prevent; counting service points that report them, on a scheduled sample, gives a direct if self-reported measure of that change.
