On average, a person generates about 1,500 pounds (approximately 680 kilograms) of trash per year in the United States. This figure can vary significantly depending on factors such as location, lifestyle, and recycling habits. Globally, the average waste per person is estimated to be around 440 pounds (200 kilograms) annually. Efforts to reduce waste and improve recycling can help lower these numbers.
