What Municipal Waste Means
This game compares municipal solid waste generated per person per day.
- Municipal waste mostly means household waste plus similar waste from shops, offices, institutions, and public spaces.
- Industrial, mining, agricultural, and construction waste are outside this metric.
- Those excluded streams make up most waste by mass; municipal trash is the visible slice, not the whole pile.
- In each round, pick the country with the higher municipal waste generated per person.
The visible trash stream is not the whole waste economy.
