<p><span class="em">E16: main method of disposal of household refuse</span>
<br />By household refuse, we mean waste from domestic household activity. Here we try to identify the main modes of disposal of this household garbage by encircling the codes of the appropriate modalities.
<br />The AR circles the code:</p>
<div class="i1">- ''1'' if the household uses the services of a pickup truck<br />- ''2'' if it is using a carriage/cart<br />- ''3'' for disposal in an authorized depot<br />- ''4'' for disposal on an unauthorized site</div><p>For households that bury their garbage (the practice of pouring garbage into a hole, which is then closed), the AR will circle code ''5''. Code ''6'' is circled for households that incinerate their garbage (action to destroy waste by burning it). For cases different from the six (6) dealt with above, the AR will circle code ''8'' corresponding to ''other'' modality.
