Table 1 Waste generation norms for different types of facilities
Facilities Provided Waste Generation Norms
Residential 0.33 kg/Capita/day
Mall with Multiplex 2.4 kg/100 sq. m.
Hotel 1.1 kg/room/day
School 0.05 kg/Capita/day
Hospital 0.38 kg/bed/day Biomedical Waste
1.25 kg/bed/day General hospital waste
Community Facilities - Other commercial areas 0.038 kg/sq.m./day


Once, the estimated total waste and organic waste has been arrived at, one can choose the
technology type based on various factors/constraints. Depending on the technology chose, space
required for treatment varies.
For instance, composting by use of deep-burrow earthworms require 1 sq. m for 1 kg of waste or
7 potted plants per household.
Use of additives like EM/OS1 requires 200 sq. m of space for every ton of waste.
In case of commercially available prefabricated digesters like BIOTECH, space requirement varies
from 1 cu m to 6 cu m for 2 -20 kg of organic solid waste per day.
