Calculate the average daily volume of solid waste produced by household,
commercial, and industrial sectors, divided by total population. Include estimates
for any solid waste that is not collected by government services.
This calculation should include all solid waste, regardless of its processing
(recycling, composting, etc.) as it is being used as a proxy measurement for
consumption.
A consumption-based ecological footprint calculation per capita may be used instead of the above option.
If the city tracks waste by weight rather than volume, this measure may be substituted.
