In what is a surprising result, it is Canada which tops the list of 8 countries that produce the most garbage in the world. Furthermore, it is also surprising that countries such as China and Brazil do not make the list, even though they are the top 2 producers of garbage overall in the world. This is due to the fact they have huge populations, and hence, the garbage produced per capita is significantly lower.
