| Abstract |
The report is the most recent in a series of reports released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to characterize MSW in the United States. It characterizes the national waste stream based on data through 1993 and includes: Information on MSW generation from 1960 to 1993; Information on MSW management -- recovery for recycling and composting, combustion, and landfilling -- from 1960 to 1993; A discussion of the role of source reduction in MSW management; Information on the relationship of MSW generation to population and economic activity; Information characterizing MSW by volume as well as by weight; Projections for MSW generation to the year 2000; Projections for MSW combustion through 2000; and Projections (presented in three recovery scenarios) for materials recovery for recycling and composting through 2000. |
