Definition of the indicator

The amount of collected municipal waste and collection rate are used to calculate the amount of generated municipal waste expressed in kg per capita per year. The “Municipal waste” refers to waste collected by or on behalf of municipalities; the main part originates from households, but similar wastes from commerce and trade, office buildings, institutions and small businesses is also included. The measure of the proportion of waste collected which is recycled, composted, incinerated, or landfilled in controlled sites gives an indication of the environmental impact of waste management in a country/region.
