The highest percentage collection is 11% that belongs to zone 5 and zone 7. While
the lowest collection is zone 4 with 5% collection only. The last landscape waste
composition is wood. This trip collection will be compared among three zones only
which are zone 1, 2 and 5 only. The highest collection with 10% is zone 2 while the
lowest collection is zone 1 with 0.9% only.
The pattern of landscape wastes between the trips is difficult to understand and
to compare to determine which zone has the highest percentage of each composition
of landscape wastes. Table 3 below shows the average of the daily collection of
landscape wastes for each composition in eleven zones in UTM. It also includes the
number of gunny sack of dry leaves. The average weight of a fully filled gunny sack
is about 6 kg. There is some problem where not all the contractors contribute their
collection data. In this study, zones 8, 10, 11 have no data on how much gunny sack
have been collected daily in UTM.
Table 3 shows the percentage of a daily number of gunny sacks containing dry
leaves on eight zones only. The contractors responsible for collection in zone 8, 9,
