摘要: The objective was to investigate factors that affect the efficient management of solid waste produced by commercial businesses operating in City Pretoria, South Africa. Data were gathered from 1,034 businesses. Efficiency assessed using a structural time-based model designed for evaluating efficiency as function length time required manage waste. analysis performed statistical procedures such frequency tables, Pearson's chi-squared tests association and binary logistic regression analysis. Odds ratios estimated used identify key proper disposal study showed 857 selected (83%) found be enough with regards collection Based on odds analysis, wa...
