Food and residual waste collected, kg/inhabitant (adjusted)

Description

Number of kilograms of food and residual waste collected per adjusted number of inhabitants in the municipality. Refers to food and residual waste (previously commensurate vascular and sack waste) from households and thus comparable waste from other activities such as shops, offices, industries and restaurants, etc. Food and residual waste refers to both combustible residual waste (household waste) as well as food waste collected by the municipality. It is usually collected in containers or sacks, but other collection systems are also used as containers, tanks, garbage suctions and underground containers. The number of inhabitants is adjusted with regard to holiday homes, guest nights and commuting. In distinctly holiday home municipalities or municipalities with extensive tourist activities, much more household waste is generated than the permanent residents give rise to. Even in municipalities with a large increment surplus, a lot of household waste is generated through the workplaces. By using an adjusted number of inhabitants, the amount of waste per person is more accurately reflected for their own municipality, which facilitates comparisons with other municipalities.
