During the month of December 2010, the available data was fed into the system to analyze the various reports generated and the different information that it can store. Currently, the Waste Data Collection System analyzes different types of waste, tonnages of the wastes, Kilometers of street swept, and identifies various assets where the waste is transferred or disposed such as the transfer station and the landfill. The CMS Team does not have the authority to verify the data provided to the center by the Landfill and Transfer station operator, therefore the figures mentioned in this section are as reported. The CMS Team is working with the Landfill and Transfer Station Operator to improve the quality of data being input into the MCS. Figure 4.5 shows the Waste data page on the MCS. The analysis and interpretation of the data fall under each of the charts given below. The interpretation is given with a view that CMS (company) will continue its operation beyond the month of December. Moreover, it is only intended to facilitate better management of the team in the future. It will also assist the team while strategizing and planning. It is also written to enable the team to focus and concentrate its resources towards the most profitable and promising areas. It is also worthwhile to note that this analysis is solely intended to facilitate continuance of the CMS team. The analysis and interpretation brings into light the many factors that affect waste collection. This will help CMS to understand and interpret data availed to them deeper and better than before. Figure 4.5 Chart 4.6 – Lot 1 – Tonnages – December 2010 The dispersion of tonnages of waste collected by lot 1 were as follows , 72% house hold waste,13% Bulky waste, 5% Market waste, 9% slaughter house waste, basket waste and Islamic waste averaged less than 1% of the total 17282.3 tons of wastes collected during the month. It is evident that the amount of waste collected in the second to through the fourth week of the month remained constant at 4375 tons. The festivities in the middle of weeks the month December explain this sharp increase. The largest size of waste in areas visited and serviced by lot 1 were household waste. Markets places were also very busy in the middle weeks of the month evidenced by the increase in market waste from 149.5 tons to 208 tons over the second to the fourth week, thus wastes are seasonal and follows events. Basket wastes and Islamic scriptures waste were the same from the first to the fifth week. Bulky waste may have increased probably due to increased production of fast consumer in industries. The festivities also influenced the increase in slaughter house waste, this implies that the amount of meat consumed over the middle three weeks rose, resulting to the increase. Table 4.7 – Lot – 1 Trips – December 2010 Figure 4.6 and Table 4.7 are the tonnages and trip of waste collected in Lot 1 in the month of December 2010. During the month of December 2010 the trips undertaken to correct Household waste contributed more than 55 % , Bulky waste 20%, market waste 19%, slaughter house waste 6 % while basket waste and Islamic scriptures contributed to under 5 % of the total trips undertaken during the month of December. The trips made to collect various wastes were evenly distributed with the mode of trips being 284 for house hold waste, 100 for bulky waste, 96 for market waste, 30 for slaughter house waste
