Description

Definition
HHWASTEFREQ reports at what intervals the household's collected garbage is removed from the dwelling area--for example, every day versus once a week.

The related variable HHWASTECOLLECT reports what sort of container holds the household's garbage between disposal days--or whether the trash is immediately thrown into the street rather than collected.

The information in HHWASTEFREQ is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
