This dataset provides statistics on municipal waste and wastewater treatment in large (TL2) and small (TL3) regions. Data definition and source Municipal waste data covers total amount municipal waste collected, recovered municipal waste and municipal waste used in controlled landfilling. Recovered municipal waste is defined as waste that undergoes material recycling or other forms of recovery (including energy recovery, composting), excluding landfilling. Wasterwater treated is measured by the share of population connected to at least secondary wastewater treatment. Data is collected via delegates of the OECD Working Party on Territorial Indicators (WPTI), as well as from national statistical offices' websites. Definition of regions Regions are subnational units below national boundaries. OECD countries have two regional levels: large regions (territorial level 2 or TL2) and small regions (territorial level 3 or TL3). The OECD regions are presented in the OECD Territorial grid (pdf) and in the OECD Territorial correspondence table (xlsx).
