Massachusetts Municipal Solid Waste and Recycling Surveys
This spreadsheet contains information about municipal solid waste and recycling programs from survey responses. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is not the same data as MassDEP collected for
2008 and prior years. These survey responses do not include municipal recycling rate calculations. Therefore, it is not possible to directly compare this data to data collected for
2008 and prior years. Recycling rates calculated based on this survey data also will not be directly comparable to rates that MassDEP has calculated for prior years.
