You will find goal measurement tools and information about the new
per capita disposal and goal measurement system for 2007 and later
(Chapter 343, Statutes of 2008 [Wiggins, SB 1016]). The new per
capita disposal and goal measurement system moves the emphasis from
an estimated diversion measurement number to using an actual
disposal measurement number as a factor, along with evaluating
program implementation efforts.
Waste Stream Measurement and Analysis
Knowing the amounts and types of waste still disposed is critical in determining
what kinds of diversion programs to select. Here you'll find information on diversion
rate measurement, an online diversion
rate measurement calculator, waste stream characterization, statewide diversion rates,
Statewide Biennial Review
Compliance Status, waste disposal measurement and
diversion programs selected by other jurisdictions. See the Countywide,
Regionwide and Statewide Jurisdiction Diversion Progress Report that provides
both summary and detailed information on biennial review status,
diversion rates, and waste
diversion program implementation for all California jurisdictions.
Reporting
Each year,
jurisdictions must measure and report to the Board their progress in meeting the goals of
the Integrated Waste Management Act. Here you will find information and models you can use
to prepare your annual reports and other types of reports made to the Board.
Waste Diversion Program Implementation
Here
you will find information on diversion programs--what can be done and what's being done
successfully--as well as tools to help you implement your own programs.
