We checked which municipalities in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship produce the most garbage per capita. See our ranking.
We developed our ranking based on data collected by the Central Statistical Office. They concern the mass of municipal waste generated annually by one resident in a given commune in 2022.
A resident of Poland produces on average 355 kg of waste per year.
This is how much the average resident in particular regions of Poland produces annually:
- Lower Silesian Voivodeship – 422 kg of garbage,
- West Pomeranian Voivodeship – 412 kg of garbage,
- Lubuskie Voivodeship – 398 kg of garbage,

How do we sort waste? Still far from ideal, most of it is mixed waste.
Garbage collected separately in relation to total waste constitutes 39.9% in Poland. The Podkarpackie Voivodeship has exactly the same indicator.
In this respect, the best situation is in the following voivodeships:
- Lublin – 48.5 percent waste is segregated,
