Estimating U.S. Waste Composition Using State and Local Data

While waste composition is known to vary geographically, little information exists in a compiled format to directly compare state compositions and aid decision-makers when setting waste-related policies such as recycling and diversion goals. National, regional, and state composition will be determined using state, city, and county sample-and-sort data.
