Answered

The average person in the united states generates how many pounds of municipal solid waste each day?

Answer :

Municipal solid waste (MSW) generation in 2018 totalled 292.4 million short tonnes or 4.9 pounds per person daily in US.

According to the EPA, trash, also known as municipal solid waste, is everything that customers discard after using it. These include corrugated boxes and bottles, food, furniture, grass cuttings, computers, tyres, and refrigerators. However, MSW does not incorporate all wastes that might be disposed of locally, including non-hazardous industrial wastes, municipal wastewater sludge, and construction and demolition (C&D) waste debris. EPA has recently begun to include estimates of C&D generation and management as a separate non-hazardous waste stream.
