Household’s size is under investigation in the present paper, in order examine whether there is an effect on solid-waste generation.
Time series analyses revealed daily quantities for each one of the 11 sections of the municipality of Volos. Also, sections have been characterized, according to the major socioeconomic category, which dominates in every section. Considering section’s population, solid-waste production calculated for each section and socioeconomic category. Household’s size research revealed a turn during the last decade. Finally, we concluded that probably there is a relation between household’s size and solid-waste generation.
