Cabarrus County Solid Waste Management Plan 2012- <br />2022 <br />Section 3 -- Waste Characterization <br />No waste stream characterization studies have ever been conducted for waste generation in <br />Cabarrus County. We have relied on state and national percentages, and studies from similar <br />counties in North Carolina. <br />I a. Residential Wastes <br />Residential wastes represent an estimated 40% of the total wastes generated in Cabarrus <br />County, based on averages from a review of other communities in North Carolina. <br />Composition data in Table 3 -1 are calculated using percentage calculations from Orange <br />County, in their 2010 Study, using 2010 -11 Cabarrus County data. This was chosen because it <br />represents discarded residential wastes, after recycling and reduction efforts. U.S. EPA Totals <br />include all MSW, not just discards. <br />Table 3 -1 Residential Waste Generation <br />Category <br />Percentage <br />Tonnage <br />Organics <br />37 <br />33,704 <br />Paper <br />22 <br />20,040 <br />Plastics <br />18 <br />16,397 <br />Wood <br />6 <br />5,466 <br />Ferrous <br />Metal <br />4 <br />3,644 <br />Glass <br />4 <br />3,644 <br />Other* <br />9 <br />8,198 <br />Total <br />100 <br />91,092 <br />: Less than 2% is electronics and special wastes <br />3 <br />Attachment number 2 <br />F -7 Page 134 <br />
