MSW is only a portion of total solid waste. MSW refers to everyday items discarded from residences, busi- nesses, and institutions, but is separate from construction debris, wastewater treatment waste, or other nonhazardous industrial process waste (U.S. EPA, 2013). Items that are part of MSW include corrugated boxes, food waste, plastic film, bottles, cans, newspa- per and office paper, wood pallets, and yard waste, with a more complete list available from U.S. EPA (2013).
