PATTERNS OF USE 85% (482) of all respondents indicated that they have used the Bio Basket system. Almost all of these (452 - 80% of all respondents) were still using it at the time of interview. For respondents who were still using the system at the time of the survey, the number of bags used per week ranged from 1 to 14, with a mean of 3 bags per week. 65% of current users change the bag when it was full. 14% of current users change the bag every 2-3 days. Almost half of current users claimed to use the system for everything possible (49%). A further 23% used it for most things. Only 2% said that they hardly used the system. In 43% of the households where the Bio Basket system was used, the system was used by everyone. 31% of households had only one user but most of these (22%) were single person households.
