What is a diversion rate?
A waste diversion rate refers to the proportion of our waste that is diverted from landfill into recycling or compost streams. We calculate this by analyzing our waste tonnage data.
Diversion rate = (recycling tonnage + compost tonnage) / (total waste tonnage: landfill + recycling + compost)
The higher the diversion rate, the better! This means we are keeping lots of waste out of landfill.
