Evidence: Supports the 2024 municipal-waste treatment shares, component tonnages and official treated total.
Treatment shares use treated waste as the denominator. Total waste generated is a different measure and is not used for this composition.
Uses the four official 2024 treatment shares and the reported treated municipal-waste total from CYSTAT.
All shares, component tonnages and the treated total come from one CYSTAT estimated 2024 municipal-waste release.
