This is misrepresents what I said: "average individual generates 10lbs of non-recyclable waste per week."
The 8 to 9 lbs is ALL stuff, not just 'non-recyclables.'
And, that amount includes everything, including "commercial, construction, medical, and tourist garbage", not just household.
The whole point is that neither WTE nor
"dumping it into a hole in the ground" are the limit of options.
