such twigs, branches, palm frond, and wood are directly loaded into the lorry. The
weight of each gunny sacks will be estimated by the contractors by taking the average

2.2 Waste Generation Zones
Landscape waste in UTM was collected by the cleaning contractors in each zone and
directly dumps the landscape waste to the landscape landfill at UTM. Figure 2 shows
the region size for each zone for the year 2015 and 2016. UTM area is divided into
eleven zones. The location (L) of the landscape landfill is at L1. L1 to L11 stands
for Location 1 to location 11. This helps to know the distribution and the types
of landscape waste for each zone and focus more on the zone that produces high
percentage on dry leaves because the dry leaves will be used for making bio-coke.
