Sedgwick County Waste Analysis

Sedgwick County Department of Environmental Resources encourages the community to reduce its trash output.

In 1997 - '98, Sedgwick County took an in-depth look at the trash in the Brooks Landfill (now a construction and demolition landfill).  Below are the results of that "trashy" job.  A new trash study will take place in 2009.

Paper 30%, Construction and Demolition 19.5%, Yard Waste 12.5%, Plastic 11%, Metal 8%, Textiles, Rubber, Leather 6.5%, Food Waste 6%, Other 3.5%, and Glass 3%.
