Help Improve EPA’s Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Report

August 2011

Each year EPA publishes the “Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in the United States” characterization report, which provides the most recent available data on annual US waste generation, recycling, and disposal. We want to know how stakeholders are using the report and how the report could be improved. This information will be used to develop new measurement definitions and measurement protocols, and may lead to the addition of new materials to future reports.
