What is the order of the Integrated Solid Waste Hierarchy from most desirable to least desirable practices?

Dump Waste (unmanaged) -
Engineered Landfill (managed) -
Waste reduction (do not generate waste in the first place) -
Reuse (find ways to use items over and over again without changing them chemically) -
Recycle -
Waste to Energy - BioReactor/ Incineration -


Dump Waste (unmanaged) - 6
Engineered Landfill (managed) - 5
Waste reduction (do not generate waste in the first place) - 1
Reuse (find ways to use items over and over again without changing them chemically) - 2
Recycle - 3
