Paper and paperboard products are the largest component in the trash we generate (33.9%) followed by yard trimmings (12.9%), food waste (12.4%), plastic (11.7%), metals (7.6%), wood (5.5%), glass (5.3), textiles (4.7%). rubber and leather (2.6%) and other materials (3.4%). A breakdown, by weight, of the municipal solid waste (MSW) materials (before recycling) is provided in Figure 1. Figure 1.
