- Municipal solid waste (MSW) refers to the solid waste generated by households, commercial establishments, and public areas, which is collected and transported for disposal or processing. It does not include solid waste that is transported with water as sewage; that type of waste is part of the sewage system and is considered wastewater, not municipal solid waste.
- Municipal solid waste can contain fine dust, silt, and sand as components, especially from street sweeping and dust collection.
- Municipal solid waste includes both putrescible (biodegradable organic matter that can decompose, like food scraps) and non-putrescible (non-biodegradable items, such as plastic and metal) solid wastes.
- Municipal solid waste does consist of garbage, which includes everyday items discarded by the public, like food waste, packaging, and other refuse.
