Plastics<br />
Plastics (Fiqure.32) possess many properties that make them desirable, if not<br />
indispensable, for the modern c<strong>on</strong>sumer. These synthetic polymers are shatterresistant,<br />
waterproof, lightweight, durable, <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> str<strong>on</strong>g. As a result, plastics have<br />
replaced glass <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> a number of other materials in packaging, c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong>, <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
other uses.<br />
Picture 4.: Plastic <strong>waste</strong><br />
The largest source of plastics in MSW is c<strong>on</strong>tainers <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> packaging. C<strong>on</strong>tainers<br />
for soft drinks, milk, water, food, <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> other products are am<strong>on</strong>g the largest<br />
porti<strong>on</strong> of plastics in c<strong>on</strong>tainers <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> packaging. The remainder of plastic<br />
packaging is found in bags, sacks, wraps, closures, <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> other miscellaneous<br />
packaging products.<br />
Yard Waste<br />
The USEPA (1999) defines yard <strong>waste</strong> as grass, leaves, <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> tree <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> brush<br />
trimmings from residential, instituti<strong>on</strong>al, <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> commercial sources. There are<br />
limited data <strong>on</strong> the compositi<strong>on</strong> of yard <strong>waste</strong>s; however, it is estimated that<br />
the average compositi<strong>on</strong> is about 50% grass, 25% leaves, <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> 25% brush <strong>on</strong> a<br />
weight basis. These numbers will vary as a functi<strong>on</strong> of climate, regi<strong>on</strong> of the<br />
country, <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> seas<strong>on</strong> of the year.<br />
Food Waste<br />
Food <strong>waste</strong>s include uneaten food <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> food preparati<strong>on</strong> <strong>waste</strong> from residences,<br />
commercial establishments (restaurants, etc.), instituti<strong>on</strong>al sources (school<br />
cafeterias, hospital cafeterias), <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> industrial sources (factory lunchrooms).
