Notes

Each household, hostel and institution was asked how the refuse or rubbish of the household/hostel/institution was disposed of. The responses were the same for all questionnaires, with the exception of the category ‘No rubbish disposal’ which appeared as ‘None of the above’ on hostel and institution questionnaires. If the response was ‘Other’, provision was made for a response to be written in but, if it couldn’t be related to one of the other response options, it was just coded as ‘Other’.
