MSW is a waste type consisting of everyday items that are discarded by the public. 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. | : MSW is a waste type consisting of everyday items that are discarded by the public.
