This paper analyses the way numerical data on Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) quantities are recorded, processed and then reported for six of the most meaningful Italian Districts and shows the difficulties found during the comparison of these Districts, starting from the lack of homogeneity and the fragmentation of the data indispensable to make this critical analysis. These aspects are often ignored, but data certainty are the basis for serious MSW planning. In particular, the paper focuses on overall Source Separation Level (SSL) definition and on the influence that Special Waste (SW) assimilated to MSW has on it. An investigation was then necessary to identify new parameters in place of overall SSL. Moreover, these parameters are not only important for a waste management system performance measure, but are fundamental in order to design and check management plan and to identify possible actions to improve it.
本文分析了意大利六个最有意义的地区对城市固体废物（MSW）数量的记录、处理和报告方式，并展示了在对这些地区进行比较时所发现的困难，这些困难始于数据缺乏同质性和碎片化，而这些数据对于进行这种关键性分析是必不可少的。这些方面经常被忽视，但数据的确定性是进行严肃的 MSW 规划的基础。特别是，本文重点关注总体源头分类水平（SSL）的定义，以及将特殊废物（SW）同化到 MSW 中对其产生的影响。因此，有必要进行调查，以确定可替代总体 SSL 的新参数。此外，这些参数不仅对废物管理系统的绩效衡量很重要，而且对于设计和检查管理计划以及确定可能的改进措施也很重要。
