    Waste includes any items that are discarded and no longer needed, such as garbage, trash, or rubbish. Waste comes in many sizes, from small items like toothbrushes to large items like buses. Everyone produces waste, though some individuals and countries produce less waste and are more environmentally conscious than others. Europe produces about 1.8 billion tonnes of waste per year, which averages to around 3.5 tonnes per person. Americans generated around 250 million tons of trash in 2010, and recycled or composted over 85 million tons, which is a 34.1% recycling rate. On average, Americans recycled or composted 1.51 pounds out of the 4.43 pounds of waste produced per person
