The Impact of Pandemic Dynamics on Solid Waste Generation: An Evaluation of the Pre-Pandemic, Pandemic, and Post-Pandemic Periods

This project gives research direction and hands‑on help for studying how municipal solid waste (MSW) changes during three socio‑economic periods: before the pandemic, during the pandemic, and after the pandemic. We use real data from local municipal records and set up a statistical framework to measure how household waste amounts vary. The approach combines non‑parametric and parametric tests—specifically the Kruskal‑Wallis test, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and Spearman’s rank correlation—to check whether waste volumes differ significantly across time periods and districts. We track how waste production rose during the strictest pandemic lockdowns and how it steadied again in the post‑pandemic phase. By linking demographic data, lockdown dates, and waste amounts, the

project creates clear mathematical relationships. The output is a documentation package and an analytical guide that helps design flexible municipal waste‑management plans. Environmental engineers can use the framework as a decision‑support tool to: – fine‑tune collection schedules, – assign staff and equipment efficiently, – build waste‑management systems that can cope with sudden health crises and related population changes.
