This report forecasts to 2028 US generated, recovered, and discarded municipal solid waste (MSW) in short tons. MSW generated, recovered, and discarded are each segmented in terms of: packaging, durables, nondurables, food, yard, and miscellaneous inorganics (generated and discarded only).
To illustrate historical trends, total generated, recovered, and discarded MSW as well as the various segments are provided in annual series from 2013 to 2023.
