OBJECTIVE: Determine the amount of solid waste generated from daily activities
PROCEDURE:
1. For the next seven days, record all the materials you use every day. Materials recorded should include
all solid waste as well as any items that may be recycled or reused in some way. Examples of items to
be recorded should include paper, plastic bags, food wrappers, beverage containers, product packaging
(shampoo bottles, deodorant containers, toothpaste tubes), newspapers, aluminum foil, cardboard boxes,
paperboard roll from toilet paper, and so on.
2. Keep a running inventory of your solid wastes throughout the week, with a final tally of the number of
items in each major category (e.g. paper, plastic, aluminum, Styrofoam, mixed metals, glass, etc.)
tabulated at the end of this time period.
3. Then, weigh your waste materials by category to calculate a total mass of all your materials for the
week. Include an inventory of organic waste generated in the preparation of your meals at home.
Weigh and divide it by the number of persons in your household.
4. Calculate the mass of your annual solid waste production based on this seven days’ period.
