Interviewer instructions
<span class="h1">15. Extended questionnaire</span>
<br />This section of the questionnaire contains the questions you must apply in the households you have registered as: Single house on the land, house sharing land with other(s); duplex house; apartment in a building; housing unit in neighborhood or tenement and housing unit in the rooftop room of a building. That is, with classes 1 to 6 of private housing unit class.</p>
<p><span class="em">VII. Garbage</span>
<br /><span class="ital">20. Separation and reuse</span>
<br />These questions allow us to know if the population separates their daily waste in their homes into organic and inorganic; if they separate some food scraps or waste to give to animals; if they separate waste to fertilize plants or gardens; if they separate PET (plastic), aluminum (cans) or paper (cardboard) to sell it, donate it, give it away or recycle it. In other words, they make it possible to identify waste separation and reuse practices in households.</p>

<p>Read the question mentioning each type of separation and register the answers of the respondent.</p>
<p>The separation and reuse question is presented in the census manager as follows:</p>

<p><span class="ital">21. Garbage disposal</span>
<br />This question identifies the way in which people dispose of the garbage generated in their housing units.</p>
<p>[Figure omitted: image with text]</p>
<p>Read the question mentioning each option until you get an affirmative answer and select the corresponding code.</p>
<p>The first option refers to the household collection service, either by means of a special truck for this activity or by means of carts adapted by cleaning personnel or private individuals who are in charge of collecting the garbage produced by the population in their housing units.</p>
<p><span class="pg">[p. 258]</span></p>
<p>[Image omitted]</p>
<p>The second option identifies whether there are containers or deposits around the housing unit, or if there is a collective container or deposit in the building or group of housing units where garbage is deposited and where a truck or cleaning personnel picks it up.</p>
<p>[Image omitted]</p>
<p>Burning or burying garbage is a common practice among the population when there is no household garbage collection service or, for some reason, they do not use it. In some places, these are common practices and can be carried out around the housing unit or far from it, as well as individually or collectively.</p>

<p><span class="pg">[p. 259]</span></p>
<p>A public landfill is a property or land destined to receive and accumulate large quantities of garbage; it is generally located on the outskirts of population centers and is identified by a large amount of waste it receives. Circle this option when the residents of the housing unit throw garbage directly to these places.</p>
<p>The last option, dumped elsewhere, identifies when residents leave their garbage on the streets, vacant lots, ravines, crevices, rivers, and lakes, or dump it in the sea.</p>
<p>If the respondents state two or more ways of disposing of garbage, ask for the most recurrent or the one to where they throw the largest amount. The respondents should determine this, but if they are unable to do so, select the one that appears first in the response options.</p>
<p>The garbage disposal question is presented in the census manager as follows:
