Waste that is not created by community activities or residential/commercial establishments are non-municipal solid waste. However, a MSW landfill can accept non-hazardous non-MSW waste, unless prohibited by 329 IAC 10-9-2(b). Construction/Demolition Waste, Industrial Process Waste, Infectious Waste, Coal Combustion Residual (CCR) Waste, Hazardous Waste, and Pollution Control Waste are not MSW. MSW may be sent to a permitted processing facility. MSW may be taken to a transfer station for consolidation before it is taken to a landfill or an incinerator. MSW is usually left on the curbside weekly and picked up by a dump truck and taken to be buried in a landfill or burned in an incinerator. These wastes are commonly called trash or garbage and include items such as food, paper, plastics, textiles, leather, wood, glass, metals, sanitary waste in septic tanks, and other wastes. Municipal solid waste (MSW) includes all items from homes and businesses that people no longer have any use for. General Trash/Garbage - Municipal Solid Waste
