Abstract
Per capita waste generation rate in China is decided by climate condition, economic or consumption level and household fuel by multiple regression analysis. Models for per capita waste collection rate are developed for whole nation, major city, and Shanghai. The total generation rate of China has been increasing rapidly during thepast twenty years because of urban population and per capita waste discharge increase, now per capita waste collection increase is slowing down and increase in total collection rate will mainly caused by urban population increase in the near future. There is geographic difference in per capita waste collection rate by analysis at province level; it is usually higher in colder northern area because coal is still used as family fuel. Major cities generally show cut in per capita generation rate at the primary phase of economic development because of popularization of gas using in family, then show increase with continues economic development. Share of organic materials and calorific value of waste in China's major cities keep increasing. China's domestic waste disposal systems need to be improved to meet the changed generation characteristics and demands for waste reduce, recycle and reclamation.
