Which of the following actions would not reduce the per capita generation of solid waste?
installation of waste-to-energy incinerators
Which of the following statements is the best description of the total MSW generation between
1960 and 2010?
Between 1960 and 2005, total MSW generation increased at a steady rate. After 2005, total
generation leveled off.
Between 2000 and 2010, per capita generation of solid waste declined, but the total amount of
MSW remained relatively constant. What caused the difference in these two trends?
The total population was increasing.
