The RCRA[1] states that "solid waste" means any garbage or refuse, sludge from a wastewater treatment plant, water supply treatment plant, or air pollution control facility and other discarded material, resulting from industrial, commercial, mining, and agricultural operations, and from community activities. Nearly everything we do leaves behind some kind of waste. The terms "garbage" and "refuse" shall include but not be limited to: waste, wastewater sludge, medical waste, hazardous waste, nuclear waste, trash, biomix, polymers, and industrial waste.
