"Characterization of Municipal Solid Waste in the United States
 "This Environmental Fact Sheet is the latest publication in a series of publications describing the national waste stream based on data collected from 1960 through 1998. The historical perspective provided by the data is useful for establishing trends in types of municipal solid waste (MSW) generated and in the ways that MSW is managed. This year an environmental fact sheet summarizing the data and a set of background information tables was developed rather than a full report."
