Data on MSW generation published by NEPA show the structure of MSW generation by individual streams (table 8.1). Collected MSW is stable at around 7 million tons/year and estimations of uncollected waste are around 2 million tons/year. The growth of waste in individual categories reflects improvements in monitoring waste amounts more than actual higher waste generation. Available statistics on service coverage are based on individual contracts on collection, as a result of which actual coverage is probably higher in reality than reported figures (table 8.2).
