I agree.

Right.

Would one full of scrap metal, paper, sludge and ash be called industrial.

That sounds like industrial, yes.

Thanks, got a 100%!

The type of solid waste that consists mostly of paper, yard waste, food waste, and plastics is called municipal solid waste (MSW). Municipal solid waste refers to the waste generated from households, community activities, and commercial establishments. It typically includes materials such as paper, food waste, yard waste (e.g., grass clippings, leaves), plastics, glass, metals, and various other types of waste. Household recycling programs are usually designed to collect recyclable materials from municipal solid waste to divert them from landfills and promote sustainable waste management practices.
