Description

Definition
HHWASTECOLLECT reports where the household collects trash or garbage before the trash is disposed of--for example, in a covered trash can versus a plastic bag. Some households reported throwing garbage into the street or surrounding land immediately, rather than storing household waste for collection later.

The information in HHWASTECOLLECT 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.
