While service levels, environmental impacts and costs vary dramatically, solid waste management is arguably the most important municipal service and serves as a prerequisite for other municipal action. As the world hurtles toward its urban future, the amount of municipal solid waste (MSW), one of the most important by-products of an urban lifestyle, is growing even faster than the rate of urbanization. Ten years ago there were 2.9 billion urban residents who generated about 0.64 kg of MSW per person per day (0.68 billion tonnes per year). This report estimates that today these amounts have increased to about 3 billion residents generating 1.2 kg per person per day (1.3 billion tonnes per year). By 2025 this will likely increase to 4.3 billion urban residents generating about 1.42 kg/capita/day of municipal solid waste (2.2 billion tonnes per year).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAPPROPRIATE SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTAPPROPRIATE SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSASHASH COMPOSITIONASH WASTEAVERAGE WASTE DENSITIESBULKY ITEMSBULKY WASTESCOALCOMPOSTINGCONSTRUCTIONDEMOLITION MATERIALSDEMOLITION OF BUILDINGSDEMOLITION WASTEDETRITUSDISPOSABLE DIAPERSELECTRICITYENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGEENVIRONMENTAL SANITATIONFOOD WASTESFUELFUEL SOURCEGASGAS INDIVIDUAL HEATINGGLASSHAZARDOUS WASTESHOUSEHOLD GOODSHOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTESINADEQUATE WASTE MANAGEMENTINADEQUATE WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSINCINERATIONINCOMEINDUSTRIAL WASTEINTEGRATED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTIRONLANDFILLLANDFILLINGLIMELITTERLOCATIONMETALSMSWMUNICIPAL SERVICESMUNICIPAL SOLIDMUNICIPAL SOLID WASTEMUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE DATAMUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE GENERATIONMUNICIPAL SOLID WASTESMUNICIPAL WASTEMUNICIPAL WASTE GENERATION RATEMUNICIPAL WASTE MANAGEMENTMUNICIPAL WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANNINGMUNICIPAL WASTE STREAMOILORGANIC MATTERPAPERPAPER CONSUMPTIONPAPER MATERIALSPESTICIDESPLASTICPLASTICSPOWER PLANTSPVCRECYCLINGREFINERIESRESIDENTIAL WASTERESIDENTIAL WASTESRESIDUESRURAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTSANITATIONSANITATION DEPARTMENTSCRAPSLUDGESOLID WASTESOLID WASTE DATASOLID WASTE DATA COLLECTIONSOLID WASTE GENERATIONSOLID WASTE GENERATION DATASOLID WASTE GENERATORSSOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTSOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIESSOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PROBLEMSSOLID WASTE PLANNERSSPECIAL WASTESPECIAL WASTE DISPOSALSTREET CLEANINGSTREET SWEEPINGSTIRESTOTAL WASTE GENERATIONTOTAL WASTE MANAGEMENTTOTAL WASTE QUANTITIESTYPES OF WASTESURBAN POPULATIONURBAN POPULATION GROWTHURBAN SOLID WASTEURBAN SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTURBAN WASTEURBAN WASTE GENERATIONURBAN WASTE MANAGEMENTURBAN WASTE MANAGEMENT DATAURBAN WASTE QUANTITIESURBAN WORKWASTEWASTEWASTE COMPONENTSWASTE COMPOSITIONWASTE DISPOSALWASTE EXCHANGESWASTE GENERATIONWASTE GENERATION RATEWASTE MANAGEMENT DECISIONSWASTE MANAGEMENT EFFORTSWASTE MINIMIZATIONWASTE PRODUCTIONWASTE QUANTITIESWASTE REDUCTIONWASTE STREAMWASTE STREAMSWASTESWASTEWATERWASTEWATER TREATMENTWASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTSWATER SUPPLYWHITE GOODSYARD WASTESSOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTWASTE MANAGEMENTPULP & PAPERDATADATA COLLECTINGLANDFILLSINCINERATIONINDUSTRIAL WASTESMUNICIPAL WASTEMUNICIPAL SOLID WASTEUSER FEESAGRICULTURAL WASTES10.1596/17388
