Recommendation SW6: Characterize Washington's solid waste streams.

Characterize Washington’s solid waste streams including municipal solid waste, agricultural, industrial, commercial, and institutional wastes to better understand and anticipate opportunities for recycling. Complete regular statewide waste characterization studies, and incorporate studies done at the local level.

Milestone SW F: A waste characterization study is completed every four years. State studies are coordinated with waste characterization studies done at the local level. (Same as DATA B)
