    Assume: 1 home have 10 residents
    Questions
    How much MSW is generated in each town
    per day?
    How much MSW is generated in each town
    per week?
    Solution
    How much MSW is generated in each town per day
    Johor Bahru
    2,000 x 10 person x 0.95 kg/person.d = 19,000 kg/day

    Kuala Lumpur


    How much MSW is generated in each town per week

    Johor Bahru


    Kuala Lumpur


    Solution
    How much MSW is generated in each town per day
    Johor Bahru
    2,000 x 10 person x 0.95 kg/person.d = 19,000 kg/day

    Kuala Lumpur
    2,000 x 10 person x 1.9 kg/person.d = 38,000 kg/day

    How much MSW is generated in each town per week

    Johor Bahru
    2,000 x 10 person x 0.95 kg/person.d = 19,000 kg/day x
    7d/week
    = 133,000kg/week
    Kuala Lumpur
    2,000 x 10 person x 1.9 kg/person.d = 38,000 kg/day x 7d/week
