The generation of solid waste is an important byproduct of socio-economic activities. The definition of solid waste varies among countries. Generally, waste generated from industrial sector, commercial, domestic, institutional and municipal services are included in municipal solid waste (MSW).

Municipal solid waste (MSW), commonly known as trash or garbage in the United States and rubbish in Britain, is a waste typeconsisting of everyday items that are discarded by the public. "Garbage" can also refer specifically to food waste, as in agarbage disposal; the two are sometimes collected separately.

In the European Union, the semantic definition is 'mixed municipal waste,' given waste code 20 03 01 in the European Waste Catalog. Although the waste may originate from a number of sources that has nothing to do with a municipality, the traditional role of municipalities in collecting and managing these kinds of waste have produced the particular etymology 'municipal.'
