초록

For 8 years before and after COVID19 in H-gun, a small and medium-sized rural city, a quarterly survey and analysis was conducted on changes in physical and chemical characteristics of domestic waste brought into the domestic waste incinerator input. Apparent density, three-component, and elemental analysis were performed, and based on this, the calorific value of waste to be recycled was calculated. Through this, the following results were obtained about the characteristics of household waste generation in rural small and medium-sized cities before and after the COVID19 pandemic. First, since the COVID19 pandemic in the fourth quarter of 2019, the content of plastics and fibers has increased relatively, and this reason is judged to be the result of the increase in the use of plastic packaging materials and masks. Second, in the case of moisture content and combustible content before and after COVID19, a decrease in moisture content and an increase in combustible content were evident overall, except for the quarter of a specific year. Third, comparing the low calorific value before and after COVID19, it was higher than about 3,000 kcal/kg from the fourth quarter of 2019, except for 2016, after the COVID19 pandemic.
