| Abstract |
This report is the most recent in a series of reports released by EPA characterizing Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in the U.S. It includes information on MSW generation, recovery, and discards from 1960 to 1994; per capita generation and discard rates; residential/commercial portions of MSW generation; trends in MSW management, including recovery for recycling and composting, as well as combustion and landfilling, from 1960 to 1994; the role of source reduction in MSW management; projections for MSW generation and management through 2010, including three scenarios for recovery; and an 'additional perspectives' chapter devoted to basic information on the potential climate change implications of various MSW management strategies. Appendices include material flows methodology and recovery scenarios for the years 2000 and 2010. |
