Waste
Characterization Study
The Missouri Waste Composition Study was a three-year
effort to characterize and understand solid waste disposal in Missouri. The study
was divided into two phases. The first phase examined the Municipal Solid Waste
(MSW) at 19 landfills and transfer stations throughout Missouri. MSW was separated,
weighted, and recorded into 26 material categories. The second phase observed solid
waste received at 14 Missouri landfills. Each solid waste load was classified into
one of five components (municipal solid waste, construction, demolition, industrial and
other waste) and the percentage of each material, within that component, was visually
estimated and recorded. 173 pgs., 1999
