Did you know that the average United States household of four generates an estimated 40-45 lbs of trash per week? In New York City, which maintains the largest sanitation department in the country, this equates to more than 12,000 tons of trash daily. And, with more than 310 million people living in the U.S., that number grows to more than 1.5 million tons of trash per week.
