In my quest to understand where my waste goes, I came upon the Selected Solid Waste Management System. This document summarizes the Solid Waste Plan of my home, Oakland County. As I read, I found that on multiple occasions, citizens are referred to as "waste generators" and I realized, that is really what many of us have become. Being waste generators is just the product of being "consumers". We buy, we consume, we throw away, and repeat.
Here a link to the document:

There is a lot of information in here. Overall, I found it relatively clear and constructive. It talks about what Oakland County has been doing, what some of the problems are, as well as some possible future solutions. The wording, especially in the Waste Reduction, Recycling, and Composting section (p 34) tended to be slightly ambiguous, it is only a report, summarizing the state of the waste management in Oakland County. To find more specifics I will have to delve into the Final Solid Waste Plan Report.
