USEPA reports an average nationwide generation of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) for 2000 to be 4.5 lb/person/day, down from 4.6 lb/person/day in 1999. Because solid waste generation is tallied differently in New Jersey than it is nationally by USEPA, a direct comparison of generation numbers is not possible. ................
