In the United States, in 2002, waste (garbage) generated by each man, woman and child per day in each state varied dramatically: From under half-a-pound in Connecticutto over 16 pounds in Nevada. In general, those living in New England and Far Western U.S. states throw away the least garbage per day; those in Southern and Intermountain West states, the most.
Approximately 6 pounds (lbs) per person is the average solid waste generated per person, per day, in the United States. (year 2002 stats).
As of 2010--People in the U.S. (population 307 million)throw away the most pounds/volumes of garbage than any other country/nation in the world--much, much more than China, with its 1+ billion population!

What is the importance of solid waste management?
IMPORTANCE OF SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT - Solid waste management not only comes from industrial units. It also comes from various sources. Every man with the operation of daily domestic work creates solid waste for disposal. A study in united state shows that solid waste per person per day in 1920 is 1.2kg. It increases 2.3kg in 1970 and about 3.6kg in 1980. This shows that solid waste per person is mounting due to number of reasons. Solid waste disposal creates a problem primarily in highly populated areas. The more concentrated the population. The greater the problem. In India, generation of municipal solid waste (MSW), industrial, hazardous waste, biomedical waste have been increasing due to population growth, life style changes and economic development. On the other hand, waste management responses have not kept pace with the increasing quantities of waste resulting in (a) a high proportion of uncollected waste, and (b) poor standards of transportation, storage, treatment and disposal. The insanitary methods adopted for disposal of solid wastes is a serious health concern with significant environmental, social and health costs associated with it. Open dumping of garbage facilitates the breeding of disease vectors such as flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, rats, and other pests. The poorly maintained landfill sites further, are prone to groundwater contamination because of leachate production. Practically every citizen is now search of clear air and pleasant environment. The land pollution problem has grown enormously in the recent years due to waste dumping civics administration are facing the problem for hygiene disposal waste. Those calls for separate efforts of not only the civics administration but participation of several responsibilities publics groups and industrial lists. As the cities are growing in size and problems seen as the generation of plastic waste, various municipal waste treatment and disposal methods are now being used to try resolving these problems. Garbage generation in household can be recycled and reused to prevent creation of waste at sources and reducing amount of waste thrown into the community dustbins. Because of this solid west management is essential.
