Interviewer instructions

Garbage collection arrangement means the arrangement which usually exist to carry away the refuse and waste of households to some dumping place away from the residential areas. In some places, the public bodies collect the garbage from the premises of the household or from some fixed points in the locality where the residents put their garbage; in others, a body of residents themselves make the arrangement of carrying the garbage to the final dumping place away from residential areas without participation of any public body. In the first situation, code 1 will be recorded and code 2 in the second situation. Information on the arrangement prevailing for the colony / locality of the dwelling unit will be obtained and entered in codes.
