I could actually see Canada as being very high up the list, as we produce a lot of oil per capita and have a large country with a very cold climate. Canada also has a rapidly expanding population, which means more constructions....Bulgaria as second though? They have a middling Eastern European economy and a contracting population. There's just no way they are producing waste at a level several times higher than expanding nations with much stronger economies.
Something seems fishy.
