Total solid waste produced for the state in 1992 was 14 million tons ( tons per capita, or pounds per capita per day [World Resource Institute 1993]).

Figure 30 was generated using data collected from a survey (with voluntary response) of community recycling stations in Illinois conducted by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency for the TRANSPORTATION FUEL USE.
