In 2023, the waste management and remediation services industry in the United States generated revenue of more than 145 billion U.S. dollars, up from roughly 137 billion dollars a year earlier. The sector's revenue has nearly doubled since the beginning of the previous decade.
The Digest of waste and resource statistics is a compendium of statistics on a range of waste and resource areas, based on data published mainly by Defra, WRAP, the Environment Agency, Office for National Statistics and Eurostat. They are collated in this Digest for ease of use. The various sets of data are not all for the same time periods but the most recent available data has been used.
It contains sections on:
Resource, including flows and consumption of raw materials such as metals and minerals; Waste generation and sources of waste; Destiny of waste, eg recycling and incineration; Waste composition; Food waste; Economic characteristics of the sector; Waste infrastructure; Environmental issues with waste; Behavioural attitudes to waste; Waste crime; EU data on waste. Data uses: The Digest is aimed at a wide audience, including policymakers, analysts and specialists in the Defra network, the Environment Agency, WRAP, other organisations, the waste sector, academia, other researchers and consultancies.
In 2020, nearly ** percent of global municipal waste was disposed of in an uncontrolled form, likely ending up in open dumps or burned. Recycling only accounted for ** percent of municipal waste disposal that year, with another ** percent ending up in landfills.

The construction, demolition, and excavation (CD&E) sector is the largest source of waste generation in the United Kingdom, accounting for 61 percent of the total in 2020. Commercial and industrial waste had the second- biggest contribution, but by a wide margin, with a share of 21 percent. Trends in waste generation and treatment In 2020, the UK generated 191.2 million metric tons of waste, a 14 percent decrease from 2018. Nevertheless, this decline was at least partially attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast, waste generation in the UK grew continuously between 2012 and 2018, with an 11-percent increase recorded in the period. Despite the growth in waste generation, the share of waste managed by recovery operations, including energy recovery, and recycling and other recovery operations, grew from 48 percent in 2012 to nearly 58 percent in 2020. Household waste Although only contributing 14 percent to the UK's total waste generation in 2020, household waste is an important indicator of consumer behavior and waste management infrastructure. In 2022, the UK’s generation of waste from households totaled 25.7 million metric tons, the lowest figure recorded in at least seven years. England accounted for more than 80 percent of household waste generated in the UK, while Northern Ireland contributed with less than five percent.

This document reports the quantity of various types of waste generated by business activities reported by the national and county-level statistics, as well as the reported clearance quantity for various clearance methods, in metric tons.
Data regarding the yearly operations of the Sanitation Division of Public Works. Sanitation is responsible for providing weekly collection and disposal of household solid waste and curbside recycling pick-up, as well as seasonal bi-weekly yard waste from residences inside the corporate City limits. Sanitation also collects large items, such as furniture and appliances, from residences on a request basis. Additionally, Sanitation provides trash collection for City Hall, downtown containers, City parks, various City facilities and numerous special events in the community. A couple of notes regarding these statistics: The City of Bloomington Sanitation Modernization Program officially launched in October 2017. This program eliminated trash and yard waste stickers in favor of directly billing customers for their monthly trash cart rentals and yard waste pick-ups via their utility bills. Also part of the modernized sanitation program, the City of Bloomington's recycling operations converted from co-mingled to single stream collection in 2017. This means that all recyclable materials (metal, cans, glass, fiber, paper, etc.) are now all collected together instead of separately. Additionally, fiber and scrap rebates provided to the City of Bloomington by its recycling provider were effectively ended in 2017. This was largely due to major changes in international demand and fluctuations in the domestic commodities market. Note: Public Works Department division data sets prior to 2014 are available upon request.
Data is presented at a national level (for England) or by former English government planning regions (for trend consistency). The data reports on:

Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 42926 requires each State agency and large State facility to submit an Annual Waste Management Report to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). The report must summarize each agency’s diversion programs specific to their activities that are used to meet the 50 percent diversion of solid waste goal (as required by PRC Section 42921) for the previous calendar year. This data includes the diversion program activities within the annual reports for 2011-2014. More detailed historical data can be found at http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/StateAgency/Reporting/ . In addition, the second half of the annual report that contains agency program activities, including disposal data for each agency can be found in the associated dataset SARCWasteProgramActivites20112014.

This table displays the disposal of waste by source (residential and non-residential) for Canada, provinces and territories every two years. The unit of measure is tonnes.
This repository contains compiled data from published waste characterization studies with intent for training waste composition prediction models. The data is first used in a study published in the journal Waste Management titled "Predicting the composition of solid waste at the county scale". The data available is contained in reports that we refer to as waste characterization studies; these reports are often titled similarly. The data is pulled from these reports, where each data point is an estimated percentage breakdown of the waste stream into various material categories for a particular geographic area and year. Some reports provide multiple data points, such as data for each county within a state. The project team manually extracted this data from the publicly available report PDFs. Since different reports often use unique sets of material categories, the team translated the data into a standardized characterization. This process is detailed in the aforementioned paper., , # Data from: Predicting the composition of solid waste at the county scale
Dataset DOI: 10.5061/dryad.k3j9kd5kq
Description: The resulting data table has 58 columns: 3 description columns, 43 detailed waste material category columns, and 12 aggregated waste category columns. Each row (i.e., waste characterization datapoint) contains the following:
In 2021, the volume of managed waste in Indonesia was approximately ***** million metric tons. Through the Presidential Regulation No. 97 in 2017, Indonesia has targeted a ** percent waste reduction and ** percent solid waste handling by 2025.
The quarterly figures presented in this publication will not be updated, or added to. The regular publication of a quarterly statistics release ceased in 2016. Whilst the data continues to be collected quarterly, the statistics are now published on an annual basis and are available here Local authority collected waste management - annual results.
These statistics are based on data submitted by local councils in England to https://www.wastedataflow.org/" class="govuk-link">WasteDataFlow on the waste they collect and manage.
