The western countries are known to hold the highest number of land fills. Nearly 267 million tonnes of wastes have been produced only by the United States of America.
It has been estimated in 2007, that an average of seven pounds of wastes materials have been thrown out every day by every single American citizen. That resulted in the production 254 million tons of municipal wastes in 2007 and the count seems gradually increased today. This made the United States to top the first place in waste production across the globe.
Russia, Japan and Germany are standing next to the United States in producing wastes.
