A cross-sectional evaluation of assorted solid waste generation in hotels in a major tourist city in southern Nigeria
Calabar is a major tourist town in Nigeria that attracts over two million tourists annually. Twenty hotels of various categories were selected purposively for waste generation, characterization and composition survey for the months of August, September, early December (Carnival season) and late December (Christmas season). Daily rates of hotel waste generation were determined in-situ, while other studies were performed in the laboratory. Results obtained were subjected to statistical analysis to ascertain the significance of the difference in waste generation rates for various hotels, seasons and days of the week. While food/kitchen waste had the highest fraction of 32% and 39% for 1 star and 2 star hotels, respectively, glass had the highest fraction of 37% and 38% for 3 star and 4 star hotels, respectively. The average waste per capita waste generation for the various categories of hotels are 0.17, 0.30, 0.32 and 0.25 kg/capita/day for 1 star, 2 star, 3 star and 4 star hotels, respectively. ANOVA revealed that both hotel category and season of the year had a significant effect on rate of generation at 95% confidence level. The overall average per capita rate of biodegradable waste generation was highest in early December (0.164 kg/capita/day).
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management has a twofold focus: research in technical, political, and environmental problems of material cycles and waste management; and information that contributes to the development of an interdisciplinary science of material cycles and waste management. Its aim is to develop solutions and prescriptions for material cycles.
The journal publishes original articles, reviews, and invited papers from a wide range of disciplines related to material cycles and waste management.
The journal is published in cooperation with the Japan Society of Material Cycles and Waste Management (JSMCWM) and the Korea Society of Waste Management (KSWM).
