Food Wastage

Please enter an approximate food wastage in Kilograms in your house. This may include the amount of food you put into the garbage bins in your house daily. If you have more than one person in your family, everyone's wastage of food should be taken into consideraation. You may guess the weight of food waste you dispatch to the garbage trucks in weekly or monthly and divide the amount of weight by 7 or 30 accordingly to take an approximate amount of daily wastage.

Food Wastage (in Kilograms):

(eg: You put 5 Kilograms of Food waste to the truck in the previous month, you may divide 5.0 kilo by 30 to get an approximate value - 5Kg / 30days = 0.166Kg)

(eg: You may state 0.17 Kg as the total waste you round up to an amount accordigly.)

(ie: for 100g = 0.1Kg):

Daily Fuel Consumption

Fuel Consumption (in Letres):

(eg: Rs.10,000/- monthly fuel charges divided by Rs.371/- and again divide by 30days to get the daily consumption of Petrol "0.898 Litres")

(ie: 10,000 / 371 / 30 = 0.898L)
