2015-2016 Washington Statewide Waste Characterization Study MEGAN WARFIELD

2015-2016 Washington Statewide Waste Characterization Study MEGAN WARFIELD MRW COORDINATOR MEETING MAY 18, 2017 Purpose of the Study State law directs Ecology to do studies and provide data to the locals (70.95.280). Support the State Solid and Hazardous Waste Plan, Moving Washington Beyond Waste and Toxics. Support the W2R Data Strategy take a critical look at the results and use them to steer future work and make decisions. Additional analysis tasks A packaging versus product analysis which group each of the 156 material types into packaging, products, or one of six other material groups. Detailed composition results for six waste generation areas Central, East, Northwest, Puget Sound, Southwest, and West. A comparison with the 2009 Study. A supplementary analysis which combines the data collected with an additional seven studies completed by other jurisdictions. Waste Generation Areas Total Number of Samples - West = 106 - Northwest = 57 - Puget Sound = 58 - Southwest = 120 - Central = 115
