EuroWaste - at least someone is counting it

Pinkham Way is proposed in a wider world of studies and policies!
These are figures in a recent EuroStudy, for instance. (You will not want to read the full thing.)

Total waste generation in EU 27 countries in 2006: 

2,954 

million tonnes

of which, 

Total generation of waste by households: 

218 

million tonnes

 (Most is by 'construction/demolition', then by 'mining/quarrying'.
Pinkham Way would also take commercial waste, 
where it is collected by the boroughs, and maybe more.)

Overall total used for incineration: 

128 

million tonnes

Overall total going to landfill: 

1,349 

million tonnes

Recycling rate of households in 2005: 

33%

(varies widely between countries)

That's enough figures.
