Umm... waste management in the United States is calculated in tons/year. and tons is calculated from pounds. So the units are not obvious. AT ALL! |

Is it really that difficult to know what the uint is????
If you know anything about waste management you would know that the unit is Kg/person/year !!!!!!! |

The lack of units makes this graph worthless. |

This link provides more meaningful data (including units and waste over time), however it's in a table - if you want a graph you'll have to make you own!

From the data in the above document, it looks as though the units are kg/capita - although the actual figures don't make that much that sense! |

I was wondering, why isn't China or India or any African countries there? |

I never knew Australia was so bad as compared to sountries like Mexico. I also don't see China or India on there. |

You need all data units for the per capita waste per country. Per capita waste ...is it volume? ...is it mass? ...what is the time period... days?...minutes?..weeks?... years? ... Data becomes worse than meaningless without proper context, it becomes dangerous... when data is presented without defining the units used to describe the data....data becomes doo-doo... |

Household waste per capita. What does the numbers stand for. Kg waste per capita? |
