Three main points
1. What attempts/methods exist to quantify faecal sludge on a city-wide scale?
2. What is the benefit of a truck counting study?
3. What to do before, and how to implement a truck counting study?

(3) FS collection,
which estimates the current collection of
FS.
(2) FS volumes,
which estimates the current demand for FS
emptying, transport and treatment.
(1) FS production,
which estimates the future demand for FS emptying, transport
and treatment.
requires less resource intensive collection of
primary data,
requires very resource intensive collection of
primary data,
can be based on existing secondary
data,
Attempts at FS quantification include:
• calculated by: per capita production of
excreta,
• sludge accumulation rates in OSS technologies (septic tank vs. pit
latrine),• including population
growth projections,
• desludging intervals,
• use of system,
• existing legal discharge location,
• cooperation with service providers,
• performing a truck counting study,
• construction of system
• age of system,
• # of users per system,
• physical properties,

A truck counting study can be performed to…
(2) gain knowledge about how much faecal sludge is
currently collected,
(3) gain an understanding about faecal sludge
origins,
(4) gain an understanding about what type of
systems get emptied,
(6) plan and design appropriate treatment
facilities.
(4) …estimate markets for treatment endproducts
(5) provide knowledge for the operation of existing
treatment facilities
in addition to…(1) …cross-check existing data,

First:
Literature research and cross-checking with existing records at local
discharge location.

Emptiers’ Association.

Lessons learned
1. A truck counting study is an effective tool to estimate how much faecal sludge is currently being collected.
2. A truck counting study can only be performed if strong collaborations with local emptying and transport service providers can be built up.
3. In Kampala, only 50% of the collected faecal sludge comes from households.
4. Unlined pits in Kampala are not getting emptied by mechanical emptying and transport service providers.
5. Further research is needed to identify unserved areas in Kampala and the demand for emptying of unlined pit latrines.
