Collected mass per household served (kg per household per day)
Provisional. Usable pending approval; a project-proposed concept only by the project that proposed it.
Definition
Waste mass collected in a service area in the reporting period divided by the household-days served there: the households actively served in each service period of the reporting period times the days of that period, summed. Computed per service area, never per facility or zone, because mass is attributed to facilities and collectors and not to service points. Collected mass, not generation: read beside the waste generation rate. Kind rate.
purpose
To make collected mass comparable across service areas and projects of different size, and to show how much of the generated waste the service captures when read beside the generation rate.
rationale
Mass per service point mixes empty, served and unserved points; dividing by the households actually served in the same area and periods gives an intensity whose numerator and denominator describe the same population.
