2008. This was stated in the official website of Armenia's Ministry
of Nature Protection. There was not any recent information but during
the past few years the waste quantity did not decrease in Armenia. 90
per cent of waste is accumulated in Armenia's Syunik region, where
the largest commercial deposit in the country is located.
The amount of waste per capita is 3.5 tons in Armenia. This means
Armenia is first in the region.
According to the US BioCycle journal, in the USA the waste amount
per capita is 1.9 tons. The journal states that no other country in
the world has such results. As it seems, the journal is not familiar
with the statistics in Armenia.
