The Issue:
How can I graphically display statistically data of garbage
and recyclable materials using GIS for evaluation of the Utilization
of County Trash Sites?
The Intent of Design:
To provide a ‘snap shot’ view graphically showing usage rates
that represent categories of trash or loads.
Primary Map displays graphical data representing location and
material in Tonnage, (Most complete Data Acquired)
Secondary Map (Inset) – displays additional data but in loads
Data received from customer did not correlate Loads
to Tonnage

Data
• GPS Points for 11 Trash Sites via Garmin GPS Unit
Collection
• From Georgia Clearing House
• Georgia Census Tracts
Data • Georgia Roads
Collection • Putnam County Boundary
• Trash Statistics from Advanced Disposal via Mr. Jon Hipp
Data • Permission granted from County Manager Mr. Paul Van Haute
Collection
5. FINAL PROJECT – GIS

Jan 2009 – Aug 2011
• Verification of Definition
and Projection for:
Initial Map • County Boundary
• Census Tracts
Generation • Georgia Roads
• Feature layers clipped to
County Boundary

• Points from GPS

• Two points corrupted
• Required Digitizing
Shape file
• Updated Attribute
Generation: Table
• Imported Raster

• Theissen Analysis
Polygons applied
• Provides equal
distance between sites
• Suggest possible
coverage areas of sites
Secondary Map • Roads Imported
• Selected by location
using ‘Buffer’
Generation: • .25 miles from each
site
• ‘Highways’, ‘Roads’,
‘State Routes’
• Saved as separate
feature layer
8. FINAL PROJECT – GIS

Jan 2009 – Aug 2011
Data Incorporation:
• Trash Statistics Provided by Advanced Disposal
• Two Forms:
• Tonnage: MSW / C & D / Tires / Recyclables
• Loads: Brush / Metal / Tires / Recyclables
• (No Data given on what tonnage comprises a ‘load’)
• (Consequently Tonnage is displayed on Primary Map
• loads displayed as Map Inset)
• From Excel, Data Manipulated via pivot tables
• Data joined to site points attribute table under ‘RefName’
9. FINAL PROJECT – GIS
Putnam County Trash, Recycling & Loads
Jan 2009 – Aug 2011
Symbology:
• Population Tracts
• Progressively darker as population increases
• Transparency increased
• Roads
• Thicker and darker
• labeled
• Buffer
• .1 mile around sites
• selected Charts
• selected Pie Chart and components from within Attribute table
• set background to hollow and no line
• This enables the data selected to be displayed as the symbol as the site itself
• Multi-Ring Buffer
• Used instead of Buffer as Buffer lines overlap and draw inside adjacent rings
• Use of Multi-Ring Buffer joins the ring so further tool of intersect not necessary
• 3 mile ring added to suggest sphere of influence

Selected Data
Feature:
- This feature was
used as the attribute
table for all the sites
was tied here
11. FINAL PROJECT – GIS
Putnam County Trash, Recycling & Loads
Jan 2009 – Aug 2011
Symbology:
- Under ‘Show:’
select Charts, and
then which type of
chart you desire.
- Under ‘Field
Selection’ select
which fields you want
compared, (This
comes from the
attribute table)
12. FINAL PROJECT – GIS
Putnam County Trash, Recycling & Loads
Jan 2009 – Aug 2011
Symbology:
- Symbol color can
be edited here
BUT field name
cannot it is as it
appears in the
attribute table.
- Set background to
‘hollow’ and ‘0
outline width’.
Effectively this gets
rid of all graphics
except for the actual
symbol used (in this
case a pie chart).
13. FINAL PROJECT – GIS
Putnam County Trash, Recycling & Loads
Jan 2009 – Aug 2011
ArcMap compares
the data from the
attribute table and
utilizes the data
within the symbol
itself.
Data was double
checked against
charts created via
Excel, the result was
an accurate
graphical
representation of
the data.
14. FINAL PROJECT – GIS
Putnam County Trash, Recycling & Loads
Jan 2009 – Aug 2011
Without the
associated charts
showing numerical
data the Map only
shows which site
collects more of
what category of
trash – Utilization!
Which is the Goal for
this Project.
15. FINAL PROJECT – GIS
Putnam County Trash, Recycling & Loads
Jan 2009 – Aug 2011
In this example
(view the snippet of
the attribute chart
at the bottom) Flat
Rock clearly collects
more tonnage in
Tires but comprises
roughly 25% of all
trash at that site.
When compared to
Twin Bridges which
shows roughly 45%
of its collected trash
is Tires.
16. FINAL PROJECT – GIS
Putnam County Trash, Recycling & Loads
Jan 2009 – Aug 2011
Additional Data:
Map Inset – Graphically displays data for Loads
• Created new Layer
• copied county boundary feature
• copied and modified site to reflect Load Data
Statistical Data Provided
• Via Charts
• For Total Tonnage by Site
• For Total Loads by Site
• Via Pie Charts
• Specific Example of heaviest used site
• Tonnage
• Loads
17. FINAL PROJECT – GIS
Putnam County Trash, Recycling & Loads
Jan 2009 – Aug 2011
The Map
Inset, significantly
smaller shows the %
of trash category per
site in LOADS. In
previous slides
about Tires in
tonnage for Twin
Bridges which
showed roughly 45%
for total trash
collected this inset
shows that by far
the most loads went
to Brush Collection.
18. FINAL PROJECT – GIS
Putnam County Trash, Recycling & Loads
Jan 2009 – Aug 2011
However as presented in the Final Map, raw data is needed to make any sense. Above
are two charts created via excel for the overall Tonnage and overall Loads per site.
19. FINAL PROJECT – GIS
Putnam County Trash, Recycling & Loads
Jan 2009 – Aug 2011
Finally; The heaviest utilized site was
picked to show how its data is broken
down. (See previous slide)
It would be impractical to show all 11
sites on one map; however, the
statistical data along with the map
and this presentation were
forwarded to the customer.
Remember the goal was to
show OVERALL UTILIZATION.

Analysis
• Via Map
• More affluent areas of the county (Northeast, East, and South)
• Indicate more recycling
• Indicate more loads of brush
• Via Data from Excel
• Next several slides indicate cyclic patterns for data time frame provided
