ii. Definition of Waste and its classification
A simple definition of waste would be unwanted material or any material that has
exhausted all its normal forms of functions and purpose. The Waste Management
Division has specifically classified waste within the city into six (6) main categories:
Industrial and Commercial Waste
The source of this category of waste is from Industrial, commercial premises,
construction sites, shipyards and mechanical workshops.
Domestic Waste
This category is from residential premises and constitutes about 60% of the total refuse
output (solid waste).Refuse generated from public office premises and foreign
embassies are also categorized as domestic waste.
Schools and Institutional Waste
Waste generated from all public and private run schools and institutions.
Market Waste
