Global Metadata
This table provides information on metadata for SDG indicators as defined by the United Nations Statistical Commission. Complete global metadata documentation on all indicators in Goal 11, unless otherwise noted, is provided by the UN Statistics Division.
| SDG Indicator Name | Proportion of urban solid waste regularly collected and with adequate final discharge out of total urban solid waste generated, by cities |
|---|---|
| SDG Target Addressed | By 2030, reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities, including by paying special attention to air quality and municipal and other waste management. |
| Definition of SDG Indicator | The recycling rate is the tonnage recycled from municipal waste divided by the total municipal waste arising. Recycling includes material recycling, composting and anaerobic digestion. Municipal waste consists to a large extent of waste generated by households, but may also include similar wastes generated by small businesses and public institutions and collected by the municipality; this latter part of municipal waste may vary from municipality to municipality and from country to country, depending on the local waste management system (Eurostat, 2013) |
| UN Designated Tier | 2 |

U.S. Metadata
This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from U.S. statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from U.S. statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other US-specific metadata information
| Method of computation for global SDG indicator | Solid waste recycling = ( volume of waste recycled / total collected waste ) * 100 Benchmark Min = 0% Max = 63.33% Calculated from data from 2010 to 2012 available at Eurostat (2014). __* = 50 Obtained from European Parliament, Council of the European Union (2008).
