ABSTRACT
The earthquake in Ecuador on 16 April 2016 generated large volumes of debris and waste. This dataset contains data on recovered and reused disaster materials. Data were collected through a census survey of the scrap dealers of earthquake 2016 debris and waste (n = 62). This dataset was compiled to demonstrate how earthquake waste was generated during the 2016 earthquake and compare it with the pre-disaster period 2015 and the 2019 current when the data were collected. The recovered disaster materials include plastic, metal, cardboard, paper, glass, other recyclable materials, and reused materials. Likewise, the database allows us to observe the time response of medium- and small-sized scrap businesses as scrap dealers engage in the commercial transaction of disaster materials, and this dataset shows the process phases of recovering disaster waste. In addition, the dataset includes profit perceptions and factual earnings from scrap businesses after an earthquake. Considering the significant volume of waste and debris generated, this database can provide useful data for evaluating disaster waste management as an important task in post-disaster recovery.
