| 98-17123 | Characterization of Municipal Solid Waste in the United States: 1997 Update | Notice | In recent years, community officials and the general public have increased their attention to the waste generated by households, institutions, and commercial businesses. They have used information about municipal solid waste (MSW) to plan for programs to reduce and recycle this waste and to properly dispose of the remainder. The ``Characterization of Municipal Solid Waste in the United States'' report was first prepared by EPA in 1986 in order to determine the amounts of waste generated, recovered, and discarded in the nation, and to project amounts of waste which will be managed in the future. The report has been updated six times since its initial publication in 1986. Planners nation-wide use this special study to estimate the amount and types of MSW that may be generated in their communities, and thus are able to plan more effectively for the management of the wastes generated, recovered, and/or discarded. The Characterization of Municipal Solid Waste in the United States: 1997 Update report is now available. The 1997 Update is similar to the 1996 Update, but it contains updated information on the types and amounts of municipal solid waste generated, recovered, and discarded in the United States through 1996. Some new informational categories are also included in the 1997 Update. These include an expanded discussion of the markets for recovered recyclable materials. Finally, due to sustained interest in tracking national generation, recovery, and discard rates for MSW, EPA plans to continue providing annual updates of this Report as a service to its stakeholders from State and local governments, industry, environmental groups, and the public. | 1998-06-26 | 1998 | 6 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1998/06/26/98-17123/characterization-of-municipal-solid-waste-in-the-united-states-1997-update | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1998-06-26/pdf/98-17123.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | In recent years, community officials and the general public have increased their attention to the waste generated by households, institutions, and commercial businesses.
